Emily Leaving to the MTC

                   There was a lot of mess made during the preparation for Emily's departure. This image captures what our family room looked like before she left and after. As you can see, we still need to clean up.

                                            Everybody wanted a picture with Emily before we left for Provo. In most of the family pictures I'm the photographer so Marion took some pictures of Emily and I. 

          After a fun lunch at In N' Out we went to visit the Provo temple and Emily got some good bye pictures with our Grandma who was sweet enough to come with us for the drop off. My mom and my grandma reflected on special memories of when my mom left on her own mission thirty years ago as they walked arm in arm around the temple.

               At last the moment came where Emily was escorted by some elders to where she will be spending the next eleven weeks of her mission. I'm so glad I have the example of an older sister going on a mission. Also, that I have a family who loves and supports my sister.

I love my sister and can't wait till I get to read her letters and, even better, see her in person a year and a half from now.

Hope you enjoyed this post,
