The MTC Drop-Off

Due to visa problems, Josh and his group were not able to travel to the Mexico City MTC for training.  They were asked to report to the Provo MTC on Wednesday, August 27th around noon.  Emma went to school (it was her second day of this school year), so Josh was taken to Provo by me and Matt.  We took a few pictures in front of the Provo Temple and then drove around for a little while.  Finally, the time came for the drop-off.  We knew it would be quick, but we aren't ones to stretch things out...especially emotional times.  We were met by a handful of handsome elders who were full of excitement.  They helped get the luggage out of the car, took a picture of us with my phone, got a quick hug from Josh, and he was off!  I snapped a few more as he walked away.  Matt and I got in the car and began to drive off, watching him enter the MTC doors and the hand of God.  The tears began to flow.  We miss that boy already.  He will be a man when he returns.

Adios, Elder Eastman!  God be with you!
