Bracken just finished his second year of seminary. Sunday we were able to attend Seminary Graduation for the 4-year completion of senior students, and special recognition to students who had sucessfully completed the current year with 80% attendance. Like everyone else, Bracken is not a
perfect person, but he continues to amaze his parents at his close to perfect seminary attendance, positive attitude and dedication to early morning seminary. Never once did we hear him complain about the 5:30 a.m. wake up call, or taking his scooter in sometimes not so great weather conditions to get to seminary.
Sister Cheryl Parkinson--Bracken's seminary teacher for the second year now (a Brighton Bengal alumni as well--just one of the many reasons we love her (:
We're grateful for this convenient electric scooter, and Bracken's wonderful attitude that helped him get to seminary every early morning! We are proud of you Bracken, and for the important choices you are making in your life!!

i want that scooter. it would make my 7-11 runs so much more fun :)
Bracken, way to go! I taught seminary for just one year and saw how hard it is for kids--and teachers--to do the early morning routine! It isn't easy, I know--but, we are so proud of you and how hard you are working in your church work as well as school. You are such a great grandson, and we love you lots!
By the way, Bracken looks like a missionary in his beautiful suit, and you and John look like a young married couple, way too young to have a son that age!
Way to go Bracken! My boys complain about going to church every week- hope that changes so they will go to seminary!Can't wait to see you one month from today my friend! LOVE the outfit you are wearing!And LOVE what I'm sure is a custom Chinese suit on Bracken!
What a good kid! I too taught one year of early morning seminary and to this day have much respect for those students. Wow. He's off to a good start in preparation for his mission in which he looks already to go in that dapper suit of his!
Way to go bracken, loved the party and really LOVED the tribute. John is an awesome guy. Happy Birthday old man!
You look beautiful, Alison! And Bracken is so handsome! Wait till I show Jaden what Bracken gets to ride to seminary!
Just think of this accomplishment for Bracken!! The motivation to attend seminary on his own and to have a near-perfect attendance is just outstanding. He actually looks like a missionary already. Tell him his influence is felt around the other side of the world.
Congratulations, Bracken! He is following in his father's footsteps with looking so GQ--handsome young man!!
