The BIG day: Checking in the Missionary Training Center!

WEDNESDAY, March 4th

The long awaited day has arrived!

Nick was packing and organizing for days. SO excited!
A very happy, long-anticipated day in his life, according to Robyn & Ted. :)
Robyn and Nick spent a month shopping for the best slip on shoes (Hawaiians don't wear shoes indoors, so his need to be easy on, easy off), the most light-weight suits, some gorgeous ties, etc.

Farewell to this home for now!

Loading up the truck!


We took a pit stop at our favorite smoothie shop: Tropical Smoothie Cafe
Nick looked so dapper! 
Wearing his Hawaii state pin on his jacket lapel


We took photos at the Provo temple while we waited for his 12:30 check in time.









Ok ok
The emotional drop off!
(only emotional for the parentals)

 Ted and I both were dropped off here within about 4 months of each other 
(unbeknownst to each of us)

Robyn, Nov 1, 1989 (San Bernardino, CA, Spanish speaking)
Ted, Jan 31, 1990 (Bordeaux, France)
 Now, it's Nick's turn!

A bunch of volunteer moms were there to welcome us
They made Nick feel special ;)

We dropped him off in a huge parking garage, lined with missionaries all waving.
One Elder was 'assigned' to Nick and welcomed him heartily.
It was so awesome!

Mom and Dad were a bit choked up as we left
But all smiles.
Pure gratitude
