As Caleb prepared to leave on his mission, he and his brothers decided that they wanted to take a tie that would travel with each one of them while they served their missions. We pulled down a box that held a few of John's ties from his mission, and they chose one and anointed it the "Traveling Tie."
On July 8, 2014, Elder Caleb Aldrich boarded a plane headed to Guatemala City wearing the Traveling Tie. He returned home on June 23, 2016.
When the Stake President came to our home to set Tyler apart as a missionary, he talked about passing the baton of missionary service from one brother to the next. The "Traveling Tie" is our families' baton. On August 23,2016, Elder Tyler Steven Aldrich boarded a plane headed to Mexico City wearing the Travel Tie.
