Bye Bye Bernie! Hello Elder Dieker!

We all gathered at mom and dad’s to celebrate Bernie’s decision to serve.

I can’t believe that the time has come.

And I have a feeling that Bernie can’t believe it either.

This was the last time we would all be together as siblings for the next several years.

Fun night…great memories.

The future elder hiding his face…

The cousins…Grandma Dieker bought a tie for each niece and nephew to “give” to Elder Dieker.  One by one they donned him with their tie.  15 ties in all!

Very cute idea mom, now Bernie has lots to share.

My only advice to Bernie is…love who you serve, and they will feel the love of the Lord in their lives.

Return with Honor Elder Dieker…we will all be waiting!

Love you, Laura
