I can't believe that one minute we are welcoming a new little baby into our home, and 3 1/2 months later we are sending off our oldest. Yes, it's true. Gavin left exactly 1 week ago today for the England Manchester Mission. He went directly to the England MTC. He will be there for 3 weeks, and then out into the real mission field. I have been completely spoiled while he has been gone because they take pictures almost everyday of what they are doing in the MTC and post them on a website for us to see. I am sure things will be different as soon as he is out in the field, but for now I am loving it!!! He looks so good, and we are so very proud of him and the wonderful choices he is making. We will try to post more, but for now here are some pictures of before he left, and some of him at the MTC.
I had to have a "Behold the Field is White" Picture, and out here in Idaho it was the perfect time of year for one. Lucky me!
At the airport dropping him off. His flight left at 6:45 am, so it was a
pretty early morning for all of us!
First day there, they decided to take a walk while there was some sunshine. On their way back, the heavens were opened and they were drenched. The MTC presidency helped them towel off their suits. Welcome to England!!
28 Missionaries, and 17 countries. Pretty neat!
The caption on the website for this one said, "Hi Mom!"
Boy do I miss my boy!
