April and family took us down to Provo to enter the MTC. Kevin joined us there. We really appreciate them making that sacrifice.

Here we are, checking in and receiving our name tags. I guess that makes it official.

We had to follow the custom of taking a picture standing next to the big map and pointing to our mission location.

I became emotional when I saw that we are surrounded my something like 1800 young missionaries. They are clean-cut, well-dressed and enthusiastic. I am edified by their faith in choosing to go and that of their parents for sending them. You can feel the energy.
