BIG DAY.......

Well, number two missionary is entering the MTC in Provo today for six weeks and then off to Mexico for two years.  He was set apart last night and that made it real.  It seems the girls start getting the boys ready for their missions months before they are even called.  Wisdom teeth out, dozens of shots and health exams.  Buying clothes, bedding, luggage and everything they will need for two years away from home. His aunt Julie's family and I were his audience.  Annie his little sister was taking it pretty hard, I thought she would be jumping up and down as she now inherits his cell phone, the car and his new skis......but there were many tears last night.  She and Richie are 16 months apart and very close.  Little Scottie was holding it all together passing out Kleenex to everyone. Rich is a wonderful boy and will make a super missionary, his grandmother is very proud of him.  The presiding official of the stake says he has 101 missionaries leaving this month and two coming home. WOW. Be safe Richie and Te Amo..........
