That had to be the strangest “send off” Party ever, not to mention the fact that the kid doesn’t leave until summer (???). The mom, who is a friend of mine, was acting like a bizarro version of herself, saying things like “we have raised him to make this sacrifice, and by presenting the gospel he will change countless lives”. I could not tell if the kid was mortified to see his parents’ histrionic behavior, and all the attention was making him uncomfortable...or maybe he just doesn’t want to go and has no choice? It’s weird to see my friend, who is a smart and successful TV reporter, act like some kind of groupie! I’m kind of shook...
