Elder Dietz's parents dropped him off early this morning at Joseph Smith Memorial Building. Elder Dietz was very excited to get out of the car and get to work!
Here is Elder Dietz with Mom and Dad and President and Sister Tate. When Elder Dietz was a toddler he lived in Las Vegas with his family for about a year. During this time the Dietz family spent a lot of time with the missionaries as Elder Dietz's dad was the ward mission leader. The Dietz family grew close to a couple of the missionaries and still keep in touch with a few of them. President Tate happened to be the mission President of that mission during the time the Dietz family lived there. It was just one of many tender mercies that have taken place over the last few months.
Another tender mercy is that Elder Dietz has a brother and sister who work at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. As a matter of fact his sister saw him twice today. She saw him once this morning as he was getting breakfast with the mission presidency and then at the end of the day as she was leaving work. She said that she has never seen Elder Dietz happier. He was beaming and looked so happy. She got a little emotional seeing him walking in a group of Elders with his name tag on.
