...Know ye not that I, the Lord your God, have created all men, and that I remember those who are upon the isles of the sea; and that I rule in the heavens above and in the earth beneath; and I bring forth my word unto the children of men, yea, even upon all the nations of the earth?
2 Nephi 29:7

Entering the MTC.


The time has arrived and Elder Sammy has entered the MTC. He received his call on Thursday, April 5th and was to report a short 6 weeks later on Wednesday, May 16th. Mom and Dad flew with him out to Utah to see him off. They got there a day early and enjoyed seeing the sights at Temple Square and around the Valley. 



Apparently it was pretty sunny because they weren't able to get a picture of them when one wasn't squinting:



 He was to report at 12:55pm so for his "last supper", he requested J Dawgs. Good choice in my book!

He had one last face time with his little Pippers:

...and then, THE DROP OFF:


Mom and Dad said it was very quick. They drove up to the curb where a "host" missionary was waiting and promptly aided them as they took Sam's bags out of the trunk. They gave Sammy a hug right before the missionary said "Welcome, Elder" and took him away. They said the whole thing lasted less than two minutes. You can only imagine how well this was probably handled by my mom (...it's safe to assume she was an emotional wreck). But, he is there! And we couldn't be more proud or excited for him.
