MTC - Double Trouble

And......they're off!

The morning of July 3rd, my two missionaries were still packing.  Most everything was done, just some last minute stuff was needed.  We stopped by their favorite little ladies' house on our way to Provo.  She will miss them, and they will miss her.

We dined on burgers at In-N-Out once we arrived in Provo.  Several other missionary families had the same idea.  There were missionaries everywhere!  Everyone inquired as to where they were going.  It was a fun atmosphere.

We drove up to the Provo temple to say our good-bye's and spend our last moments with them.  What a mix of emotions:  happy, sad, excited, composed, laughing, crying.  I guess it's to be expected when you love someone, and will miss them, but you wouldn't want them to be anywhere else.

The "drop-off" is just that.  You drop them off, and they take them away.

As it is said, "See ya in two"! (or 18 months for Kate)

Their bags are packed, and they're ready to go.

Kate and Mike were asked at their temple endowment at the Bountiful Temple if they were a bride and groom.  I wonder what people were thinking today?
