Emmi passes boot camp with flying colors!!!

Emmi finished her boot camp with the Navy.  It was a hard row to hoe but she did it with flying colors.  We are so incredibly proud of you Emmi and are in our prayers every single day.  Jeff and Lynda Ann flew back to Chicago to be there for Emmi's graduation.  They were able to spend Friday, Saturday and part of Sunday with her.  In fact, they were scheduled to fly home early Sunday morning and Emmi paid the $350.00 to have their ticket changed for Sunday evening so she could have more time with them.  Here are some pictures of her graduation ceremony.

 After graduation!  Hugs and congratulations!

 I thought these tags that she has to wear were very interesting.  One side has the temple and the other side that she is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  Incredible!

Emmi did a lot of missionary work while she was in boot camp.  She certainly planted some seeds.  She is now on her way to Florida where she will be learning and studying for her next assignment.  Hopefully she will have a leave some time the end of November.  It would be wonderful if we had her home for Thanksgiving.

Emmi, we are so incredibly proud of you and what you have accomplished so far.  At a young age you have already graduated from BYU and earned your right to be in the United States Navy!  Our buttons are popping off!
