Today officially began Matt's mission. We brought him to the MTC at 1230 this morning. But first, we stopped in at the Provo temple to take some pictures. As the temple is closed for refurbishing and cleaning we parked across the street in the overflow parking lot, and then walked the grounds around the temple.
And then it was time to go. I was expecting Matt to be nervous, but, he wasn't. He hopped out of the car, and was smiling. He was greeted by his Host for the day, Elder Lutz, and after hugs, a few tears behind my sunglasses, and all of his gear unloaded and handled by Elder Lutz, we said goodbye.
And so begins the Best Two Years of his life.
Hi! I found your blog through your comment left on the GKLM blog. Our son is Elder Crook (Chad) ....there are two Elder Crook's in the GKLM. Elder Crook has been out a year and it is the best mission to serve in. He loves Kentucky! I love Pres and Sis Woodbury. I'd love to make contact with you.
ReplyDeleteI know transfers are next week, so that must mean your son flies out on Monday? right?
