MTC Day

Bryan left to the Missionary Training Center (MTC) today to begin his two-year mission. Here are some pictures of us saying goodby.

His cousin (like a sister) wasn't able to see him off at the MTC so she said her goodbyes the night before. She will miss him. His other cousin (like a brother) was to overwhelmed to actually say goodbye, but he said "Good luck, Bryan," from the doorway and today he mentioned that he won't see Bryan for a while when we went to grandma and grandpas tonight.

Here we are (one of his families) minus Bryan's two cousins

I love this picture of Grandma kissing him goodby--special moments.

The two in the family to serve a full-time LDS missions. Grandson Bryan, and Son Marc.

Love this sign--just says it all...

The eyes have it

I love this picture—he is pondering

  2. Those are great pictures. I love the one of Bryan looking forward and Marc looking back. He does look a little nervous, actually he looks like he is going to chuck his chuck-a-rama.

  3. W.... you sure have a way of saying things! Rachael! I was thinking of you all week, wondering how you were. I should have called. It's a bittersweet day but so wonderful knowing where they will be for the next two years and the blessings it will bring. I'm so happy he chose to go.
