Special Day with family & friends...

This last Saturday Zak went to the LDS temple for the first time before he leaves to serve a mission for our church. Here are some pictures from the special event.
A picture of our handsome missionary. Zak's grandma & aunt walked right past him because they didn't recognize him. I guess he should comb his hair & wear a suit more often! Hee hee
Zak with both sets of grandparents. Can you see how proud they all are?
Zak & his brothers & cousins outside the temple. Zak is the oldest Prescott grandson - setting a good example for his brothers & cousins!
Zak with all of his grandma's - Grandma Maxine is adopted since she's babysat the boys since they were born! They were all so proud of him!
Grandma Prescott & the proud mom with Zak. Such a great day!!
Family picture without the most important part of our family. Jamey had to work in Florida this weekend. We missed having him there with us! We felt his love all the way from Florida!

Our missionaries came to the temple to teach Zak's girlfriend while we were all in the temple. Elder Buck has been a great influence on Zak & has helped a lot in getting him ready to serve a mission.
Here's Zak & Merissa (his girlfriend). Zak will be baptizing her this weekend. He's already a missionary!
After the temple a bunch of us headed over to El Torito for some good food & good company. It was a perfect day! Grandma & Grandpa Prescott smiling for the camera.

President Mitchell (aka Bishop Mitchell or Graham) and his wife Angie. Thanks you guys for coming!! We love you (Laura included).
Laura & Simon posing for the camera. Thanks for coming Laura, it wouldn't have been the same without you!

Thanks to all the family & friends who came to the temple with us. It was an awesome day, I look forward to going with Troy & Nate in a little over a year!!
Zak - we are so proud of your decision to serve a mission. We love you & will miss you!
But we also know you will be an AWESOME missionary! Detroit is lucky to have you!!
Good luck son!!
