Drop Off

     On Wednesday, June 26th we dropped off Elder Brown at the Provo MTC!  He was set apart with many family members and friends the night before so he'd be all set for his departure.  In the morning we went out to eat with the immediate family, and then had pictures taken at the Temple.  Around noon we drove him into the MTC.   These days they just have parents drop off the missionary at the curb.  As we drove into the MTC grounds, we saw lots of  missionaries that were hosts to the new missionaries coming in.  They were all smiling and waving and I could tell that Elder Brown was so excited to join their ranks!  His host was very nice and friendly as we got the luggage out and ready to go.  We gave shared hugs and goodbyes and then he was on his way!

 With parents, brothers, sisters-in-law, and nieces.  

Temple with the parents.  

And away he goes!
