Farewell Dinner

This is Erica's Mom writing the first post on her mission blog.  On Sunday, March 25, 2012,  Erica gave a wonderful talk in Sacrament Meeting on the Atonement.  She then sang one of her favorite songs, "Wondrous Love". It was so beautitiful.  To me she sounded like an angel.  Then she sang some beautiful Easter songs with the ward choir.  It was a great meeting.

Family and friends came to our home for a brunch after church.  Erica had a lot of fun talking to people that she loves and that she knows loves her.

Before she was set apart on Tuesday, we gathered at our house. Erica's sister, Stacey had each one of us sign a pillowcase for Erica to take on her mission so she could remember that her family loves her and is thinking of her.
