Hello family & friends,
Well, we did it. We got to
Provo safely and dropped Ben off at the MTC. I woke Wednesday morning
about 5:15 a.m. to the loudest thunder I've heard, (well outside the
trailer.) I couldn't go back to sleep, I just layed there thinking how
fast the last 19 years had gone, and praying that Ben had picked up on
all he needs to know, somehow, somewhere. Actually I know he has learned
alot from all of you. We so appreciate your influence you have had on
our family. I also kept thinking...Mom's do this all the time, he, no I will
survive...won't I? I remember when our nephews & other y.m. would
come and go on their missions and I would be crying...anticipating when
our boys would go. Now it was my turn, to be the brave mama. Yeah,
right. I didn't think I did too bad, they didn't have to pry me off his
ankle or anything. haha They did have everything very organized, of
course. We drove in, parked by the curb, unloaded his bags and gave one
last hug and he was off. An elder was escorting him up the sidewalk.
We got the most awesome picture. I'd attach it if I knew how. David's
camera is weird. I hope to write again and attach a few pics.
Anyway, Ben was so excited. We had gone to the temple before hand to
take some pictures and he actually squealed he was so excited. That was
pretty funny. Well, I am sorry to write such a sappy e-mail, I just
wanted to say "Thanks" for everything. You have helped us raise our
missionary. And we thank you for it. Many of you have asked for his
address in the MTC so I will just add it on this note. Hope you
all enjoyed conference weekend and we will keep you posted with his
letters if you'd like.
Lots of love, Janet
