Missionary Farewell - Copperview 1st Ward - October 13, 2013

On Sunday, October 13th, Katelyn spoke at her farewell.  Another missionary, Jared Barton,  spoke during the same meeting, so the chapel was packed!!  It was like Stake Conference.  Jared is going to the Mexico City West Mission.

Katelyn talked about her decision to go on a mission.  The last time she spoke in Sacrament Meeting, Brother Beals harassed her about not having a softball in her hand.  This time she brought both a softball and her scriptures.  She talked about how she got from playing softball and planning to play college softball to her decision to serve a mission.

Kaelyn said as she started her junior year of school and looked at playing softball and hoping the college recruiting would begin, but she was not all that convinced she would play college softball.  In October while listening to General Conference and President Monson announced the age change for missionaries, she knew that is where she needed to be.
