Elder Nelson Arrives at the Missionary Training Center

After checking out and picking up all of Elder Nelson's siblings from school, and picking up Grammy and Grandpa Sperry, we all drove down to Provo.  We had a lovely lunch a Burger King (Jarrek's choice,) and drove to the Provo Temple to take a few pictures.  We said our goodbyes at the temple, then dropped Elder Nelson off at the MTC.

The experience was a little different than the last time we dropped anyone off at the MTC.  At the direction of traffic controllers, we pulled up to the curb and put all of Elder Nelson's luggage on the curb.  An MTC host/escort person introduced himself, and after Mommy and Daddy cried on Jarrek's shoulder, Elder Nelson was accompanied by the host/escort person into the MTC.  Elder Nelson is now in the hands of the capable staff at the MTC.

On the way home, Julia cried for 10 minutes; we were a little afraid that Julia was going to keep one of her brother's arms as he left, because she didn't want him to go.  She seemed okay, however when we dropped her back off at school with her brothers.
