Ian's Blessing Day

Ian was blessed on July 7. My family couldn't make it out. Sean's parents were here that weekend - on their way home from Philmont. Unfortunately Lindsay went into the hospital on Saturday with lots of pain and was going to have her gall bladder removed, so Sean's parents had to leave Sunday morning before church so they could get home to her. So Sean told the bishop to invite the whole bishopric up during the blessing. It was Sean, Bishop Foutz, Paul Crozier (1st counselor) and President Jay Manning (from the Stake Presidency who is also in our ward). We considered briefly postponing the blessing until we went up to Utah and then we could do it with Sean's dad and Kelly, but we decided we would just do it. So we did. It was a nice blessing. He was blessed to have a desire to serve a mission and to be worthy to do so. He was blessed to gain an education and also more importantly to gain a spiritual education. He was blessed to have a desire to find a companion and marry her in the temple and have a family.
