The day has finally arrived! JT entered the MTC today! The family went to breakfast together- He chose Denny's for some reason??!! It was the first time I witnessed him not finishing a meal!! He may have been nervous, excited and anxious to get this first leap over with! After breakfast we went and got his bags, received a father's blessing and we made our way to the MTC. We were able to spend some time as a family at the Provo temple grounds. JT was able to meet a few Elders and Sisters - everyone was super friendly. We were able to spend some last moments with him at the temple- lots of hugs, tears, laughter and fun!
We dropped him off at 12:45; station #23. His host was Elder Shulemberg from Germany who is going to Japan, Nagayo- Imagine that!! The 2 and half minutes to say good bye were precious and powerful. He gave us all great big JT hugs, said good bye and went forth boldly and with great faith. We love our missionary- and are excited for this adventure!
