The night of Jessica's setting apart as a missionary was definitely a night I hope never to forget. She invited her family and some of her closest friends to her house that night. Her Stake President and her Bishop were the ones conducting the setting apart. Her Bishop said a few sweet words about Jessica. He and his wife are such great people. They have ALWAYS been there for Jessica and Tristin. I know that they have a big part in Jessica wanting to serve the Lord by serving a mission. He then asked if anyone want to share their testimony with her. I'm pretty most of the people there got up to say a little something. I wish I would have bore my testimony at the beginning of the night because by the end of the night I was bawling and couldn't talk even though I wanted too. After everyone had a chance to speak, her Stake President asked Jessica to bear her testimony. He finished by saying a few words of advice before giving her the most beautiful blessing. The spirit we all felt that night was so strong. I know that she is going to be a great Missionary. She is going to bring so much joy into the lives of those that will listen to the message she will be sharing.
