After months of preparation and anticipation, the time has finally come for my mom and I to head to the MTC. Today we boarded an early flight from Seattle, WA to Salt Lake City, UT. Upon arrival, we rented a car and headed to the Provo/Orem area where we shared lunch together. In the restaurant, we met a couple who worked at the MTC and had a son on a mission. They were very encouraging and told me that I was going to be a great missionary. Then they surprised me by donating to my mission saying that they wanted to "pay it forward" by helping to take care of a missionary in the hopes that someone will take care of their son on his mission. That is why it is so critical to "pay it forward"!
After lunch, we met up with my cousins Kalie and Kelsey Schwendiman who are attending college in the area. Kalie recently returned from her mission in Jamaica. Here are some photos of us all at the Provo temple and at the MTC.
Finally, it is time to say goodbye at the MTC. I love and will miss you all. Don't forget to write me!!
