Farewell Elder Harward!

One of my good friends, Andrew Harward, is leaving on Wednesday to serve a mission in New Mexico!! I’ve known him since elementary school and I’m just so excited and proud of him for his decision! All of my friends are such great examples to me of sacrifice and service. I love every single on of them and feel so lucky to know each of them!

Last Saturday we had a surprise party for Andrew to celebrate him leaving for his mission. Everyone met at Olive Garden to surprise him, while Spencer distracted him and brought him at the right time.

The whole gang-Brandon, Andrew, Ash, Janell, Caleb, Clarissa, and Spencer

We spent the rest of the night hanging out at my house playing games and watching Forrest Gump. It was a great night :)

The next day was Andrews Farewell. He had such an amazing talk. I loved it. He’s such a great example.
