Saying Farewell to Elder Foulk

Well, we knew the day would come...and it did.  Time to bid farewell to our Elder Foulk!!

Looking all missionaryish

The pre-pack photo.  We were amazed that he easily fit all his things in the suitcases.  He even bought his big boots here and fit them in.  Good job, Elder Foulk!!

Some little treats that Em and the kids made for Nate.  So cute!!

Lots of people were here to listen to his farewell talk.  Here he is with Parker and Tamra Casper.

And the family shot.  It was so nice to have Janelle and family come from Boston.

Nate with the Robertsons

...and with Emily and her two kids.

Nate with his proud Grandma Foulk

The sibling shot

With Mom and Dad....sure love this boy!!

And....the attempted grandchildren photo....pretty hilarious!!

Nate with future missionaries, Alan and Jimmie

And with Evan.  These guys fight like cats and dogs, but they are sure going to miss each other!

Tracey's family came down for dinner and to say goodbye

Lorelei is going to miss this uncle of hers

A little St Basils for a farewell photo

At the airport....Nathan, Steve, and a not so sure about this, Evan

The brothers and chess enthusiasts 

And another for good measure

Saying goodbye for two years.....never an easy thing to do

Waiting in the security line

Just about out of sight

And there he goes

Nate was lucky enough to be able to meet up with Megan....

...and Grandma and Grandpa Tucker at the Salt Lake airport.  They picked up his best friend, Chloe, and then took them to get some lunch and then off to the MTC.

We will miss you, Elder Foulk, but are so excited to hear of your amazing experiences in Russia!!
