Tuesday night, August 7, 2012,  Jacob was set apart (a calling-specific blessing)  for his service as a full time missionary by our stake president, Eric Asay.  Our family was joined by Grandma Lael Whipple, Grandma Doris Harrison and Scott and Jacque Harrison and their family, Brooke, Ian and Walker.  It was a very special experience.  Afterwards, we took a bunch of photos.  The next morning, Our family left the house at 5 am to take Elder Jacob Harrison to the Boise airport for his 6:30am flight to Salt Lake City, Utah.  From there he took a shuttle to the Missionary Training Center (MTC).  We will not see him or speak to him on the phone (except Christmas and Mother's Day) for 2 full years.  Fortunately, we can send letters back and forth and he is able to send his family weekly emails.  I will post his emails on this blog for friends and family, along with photos.
