Elder Jones enters the MTC

AMAZING DAY!
We left early because we had been pre-warned about the "curbside Nazi's" (sorry) but people have been through some severe trauma... :( and I was NOT going to be told I had 30 seconds to say goodbye, and then have my only Son rushed off to ... to... ? ROAR!! So, we said our goodbyes before hand, and had some lunch, (which at this point wasn't sitting very well)
Took pictures at the temple.. and la la. Josh had, had enough. He ate his 5lb burger in like 3 bites, and if you can't tell from the pictures, he was ready to go before the first one was taken. :))

My Son was Very Ready. Extremely prepared. And getting anxious by the minute.
Abby is sad, and he is always careful with her. That moment was not an exception. He gave us all one last quick hug and handed us each a sealed envelope with our names on them. (another surprise!) And I then got quickly out of the way...

I loved the way he waved to us, with his famous smile. Then turned to his already new "Brothers" and was shaking hands as we drove away.....
I'm so proud of him. As I said before, he knows what to do, he always does.
Love,
Mom
