Braden has been busy this past year. He earned his Eagle Scout Award (he just needs to have his Court of Honor), took the SATs and ACTs, earned a place in the Milford High School's chapter of the National Honor Society and to cap the whole thing, on Sunday he was awarded his Duty to God Award. He was surprised when I cried. I thought it was wonderful.

He has been out with the Missionaries this whole week. He has gone with them to several meetings and then the Elders have been teaching the Priests Quorum how to study, so he has been with the Elders for their early morning study sessions (all with the approval of President England). As soon as I can get him to stay home for a few minutes, I will take a picture of him with his award.
