In the morning we took Shannon with us to breakfast, then took the LONGEST ride to Provo. Peter fell asleep on the way and when he woke up in Orem, he made several disparaging remarks about BYU and Utah County in general, (sorry all of you that live there, but he is his father's son!).
After driving by the entrance, we quickly realized that a picture by the MTC sign was not going to work. Too crowded, nowhere to park, and they have the whole new drop-off traffic pattern. So we drove up to the temple and had some really nice elders take our picture there.
Luckily, we had a few errands to run. There is a place on University Avenue that will pick up boxes from missionaries at the MTC- stuff they decide they don't need to take with them- and store them for $1.00 a box. We picked up a friend's son's boxes there, then bought a new color printer since mine died. Then we did a session at the Jordan River Temple and went to dinner. After dropping off those boxes we didn't even get home until after 8:00, so we did a good job of filling our day. Plus, there were treats from a ward member waiting on the porch for us. So nice!
I'm so happy and proud that Peter is serving a mission. I know he will be a great missionary, even though I will miss his crazy self.
So you don't go into the "weaning pen" room any more and watch those terrible, tear-jerking Mormon ads any more????
ReplyDeleteHe will do a great job and you know it will get easier after a bit for you, too.
But let's just say that I'm glad I'm where I am in Marc's mission experience. Yeah....
He'll be great, and the time will fly!
