Today way the bitter-sweet day! We took Philip to the MTC. He has officially begun his mission, which means this will not only be a blog about Hailey's adventures, but also Philip's! Welcome to our missionary world!
We begin with last night, as we were supposedly packing. Philip, his cousin Cameron, and his brother Derek weren't too serious about helping me pack!!!
We finally finished packing and got out the door this morning. When we got to Provo we went to eat before the MTC experience. We went to Golden Corral. We began with the blessing of a free meal for our new missionary! Very kind people at Golden Corral! I think they give a lot of free meals there. We ran into several other missionaries. One came and met Philip which I thought was very nice. As we began eating a sweet lady came up to Philip and said "I heard you say you were going to the Utica Mission?" She proceeded to tell us she was from there and gave Philip a card with a couple referrals on it! He's getting started off right! Then a few minutes later a nice gentleman came up to him and congratulated him on his mission and said they had just taken their son to the MTC a few weeks ago. He asked where Philip was going and got very excited to hear Utica because his brother just got released as the Mission President for the Utica Mission!
Very good but hard day! I know he'll do a great job. Very excited to hear from him! What a great time of life it is! Having missionaries is the greatest! (It'll be even better when they finish their missions and come home to me!!!)
