Elder Sawyer Garrett Goff needs prayers
I just wanted to write and ask you guys if you would please pray for Elder Sawyer Garrett Goff. He is having a really rough time in the M.T.C. He has a lot on his mind right now. He is not able to focus on the things that he needs to at the M.T.C. because he is so worried about our family. He is worried about our parents and JoliAnn and really wants to come home. He called me from the M.T.C. yesterday and cried and cried telling me he needs to come home and be with them. He is such a good kid and really does want to serve a mission. He has worked hard to get there and has talked about serving his mission for years.
Jason and I went to the M.T.C. today to talk with him and to have Jason give him a priesthoof blessing. We spent 2 hours with him talking about things. He bawled and bawled saying he thinks he needs to be at home to help. He is really scared about what is going to happen with our family. We are all worried about what is going to happen.. But, we all really want him to serve a mission.
He has not eaten or slept in 3 days. He is making himself sick worrying over things. He really can do this. But, he is in great need of some prayers and fasting. Not just today... not just for a week.. but this is going to take a lot! He needs to know that he has support at home. The elders in his district are not the nicest and give him a hard time about not being able to read as fast as them and catch on to the language as easily. They call him a retard and treat him in ways they should not. He really is a smart kid and has so much love for the gospel. He has so much on his shoulders right now and I just wish I could take it all.
Please write him and let him know how much you love him and please keep him in your prayers. Austin is going to have a hard time too when he finds out that Sawyer is so please keep Elder Austin Gene Goff and Elder Sawyer Garrett Goff in your prayers. Thanks for all you do.
Their addresses are below or you can go to dearelder.com and send them each a message really easily. You just have to know that Sawyer is in the Provo MTC for the Mexico Tampico Mission and Austin is in the Montana Billings Mission. They will get it the day you write it on there.

Elder Sawyer Garrett Goff enters the M.T.C.
Mom, dad, and Sawyer came up to Ogden on Tuesday night to stay. We all went out to eat at Applebees then woke up in the morning early to get ready to head to Provo to the M.T.C. Sawyer was set apart to be Elder Sawyer Garrett Goff on Tuesday morning at 10am. We dropped him off at the M.T.C. on Wednesday, July 29th at Noon. It was different from when we took Austin just 3 months ago because they don't let families go inside anymore. We said our good-bye's over in the Provo Temple parking lot then mom and dad drove the car into the M.T.C. and unloaded his bags at the curb as he was ushered off. We love our missionaries and miss them both so much already but know they will do great!

Family "Get Together"
Sawyer did so great speaking in church last Sunday! We are proud of him and know he will be a wonderful missionary in Mexico! We spent our evening at Aunt Lorraine's house on Sunday after he spoke. It was fun to spend some time with family.
