Off to Peru!

This past Wednesday, September 1st, was Justin's report day to go to the MTC. He was so excited that the day finally had come. He received his call in April, so waiting for September to come felt like forever to him...however, I felt like the time flew by! I definitely had mixed feelings about the day. Well, honestly, I hate MTC day. It is really hard for me to say good-bye, but I tried to hold back the tears!!
I really like this first picture of Jay though because I think it sums him up all at once. I love his smile and laugh. Nick and I gave Justin a cd player with some speakers for his mission. He was pretty excited because he didn't have one to take.

Drive over to the MTC....happy and sad
Goofy picture!! Jay was getting really sick of his paparatzzi sisters and mother chasing him with a camera all day :)

Unloading spot. The MTC has a new pull-up and drop off policy.
Walking off to the mission...Bye Justin. I know you are going to be such a great missionary in Peru. WE LOVE YOU!

I can't believe Justin is on a MISSION! I guess that means we're old Alli. You just pulled up and dropped him off?! That is nuts. He's such a cute kid. He'll be a great missionary.
