"Oh, my goodness! This is REALLY happening!"

After a very calm morning of packing, I headed to the Missionary Training Center (MTC) with my mom and dad.

First stop: Chuck a Rama for a FREE missionary meal!

 

Second stop: K-Mart to pick up a few "forgotten" items.

Third stop:  Near the Provo LDS Temple to take a picture.

 

Fourth, and final, stop:  The MTC!  As we approached the security gates, I exclaimed, "Oh, my goodness!  This is REALLY happening!" After unloading my two suitcases, and giving Mom and Dad a hug, I followed two elders up the sidewalk to start my service as a full-time missionary!  There was a lot of EXCITEMENT, and believe it or not...no tears from anyone, EVEN MOM! 

 

See you in eighteen months!
