Tanner MTC experience

Just before Tanner left for Russia they had a missionary conference. He said the room was filled with 2000 missionaries, both elders and seniors. He and nine elders sang this acapella arrangement of Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing. His companion in the MTC was a good friend of his cousin Jake in Rexburg. The companion's name was Elder Dana. He has been in Russia 4 weeks now and he is having a hard time with email. We have received an email only one week and that was in four little pieces, cut and pasted together. Hopefully he will get it figured out and we will hear how things are going.

Looks like all those years of little Tanner singing in the back row with Fred Pixler paid off! I still can see the grins of you and the girls during some of the choir numbers.
Tanner is a special boy. I can't wait to hear about his adventures in Russia.
Miss you ALL.
Love from Kansas City...
