Officially Elder Wardle!!!

Caleb was set apart as a full time missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on Tuesday, August 13th, 2013.  He is now officially Elder Wardle! He will be serving the Iowa Des Moines mission for the next 2 years. After he was set apart he was only allowed to hug immediate family so he shook Natalie's (cousin) hand goodbye.

On August 14, 2013 Caleb reported for the Missionary Training Center. His dad and mom and his siblings, Miranda, Jeremy, and Tony drove him to the airport early in the morning. His brother Mark picked him up from the airport in Salt Lake and hung out with him until it was time for him to be at the MTC.

Once Caleb starts to send weekly emails I, Miranda, will post them on here. Feel free to come back as frequently as you want. As soon as I know what his address is I will also post it on here. He would love to get letters so go ahead and write as much as you want!

So, Im leaving for the Provo, Utah Missionary Training Center on August 14th. To put it simply I'm stoked out of my mind!! Here you can see all of the updates I will send home about how I am doing and how the work is going forward. Pictures will be posted and you'll get to here a bunch of cool stories. To make things short I'm so excited to be able to serve my Lord Jesus Christ in Iowa. Hopefully it will be the toughest and most rewarding two years of my life, so feel free to glance and comment and follow as you wish :) The best of luck to you all and Iowa here I come
