January 24th, 2016 - Jon's Mission Farewell

January 24th, 2016

Jon's Mission Farewell

Jon gave a wonderful talk today at his mission farewell.  He is so ready and excited to serve his mission and to serve it in El Salvador.  Emma and Emily performed a musical number, "Armies of Helaman" while Zac accompanied them on the piano.  Everything was wonderful!

Jon got to baptize and confirm Emma for the dead today at the Draper Temple.  He just needed a little practice before he leaves to go to El Salvador to preach the gospel!!

Elder Loveless' Farewell Announcement

Jon received his endowment on Tuesday, November 17th, 2015 in the Jordan River Temple.  

(Attending were:  Dad (his escort), Mom, Grandpa Gailyn, Aunt Gaylene, Grandma Val, Zac, Sydney and Andra Killian.)

(We went to The Pie for pizza afterwards.)
