On January 5, Tyler was ordained to the office of a deacon. Alyssa was 2 days away from leaving for the Philippines and Tyler was happy to have her there still. Gawbie and Grandpa were able to come, too. This was one of our last family pictures together before Alyssa left.
We moved the bishopric along quickly with Tyler's temple recommend, because Alyssa wanted to be able to go with Tyler the first time he went. We thought we would have a couple of weeks to fit it in, but with the change to Alyssa's MTC and start date, we had the morning of the 7th to have them go. We had to be to the airport at noon. So Alyssa, Ashley, Tyler, and Danny headed off to the temple at 6:30 am that morning and were back home with enough time for us to sit around and enjoy the last couple of hours with Alyssa. He enjoyed the temple and has been back multiple times since.
The first time he passed the sacrament was in the YSA ward. They gave him the easiest route and he did a good job with it. It was cute to see him standing up there with all of the YSA's. We are still getting used to having him in the young mens, but he seems to be enjoying it.
