    Benji’s spots! Empty spots. Reminders of him. I hope he gets to Mexico safely! Later that night the youth all went to the Orem Temple Open House! And then we stopped by to tell Lalo goodbye – he goes to Provo MTC tomorrow.

    Tuesday November 7, 2023

    We got to the airport at 5am. We all went in and gave our last hugs and goodbye’s. He is off to the Mexico MTC!!

    Airport:

    We sent him off and then waited on the other end for him to get through security. Good Luck Elder. Be safe. Have Fun. Be friendly. Be kind to everyone. Share your love. Share your testimony. Be ready for hard. Be ready to work. Remember to pray…. he took a piece of our hearts with him.

    Can’t wait to hug you in 2 years!

    And then we all went home and back to school and work and tried to pretend that it was all good!

    MTC Week and Real Life

    No Comments

    What a crazy and good week. Benji had class most of the day but he would come out for breaks and lunch. Ben or I would try to be here to chat with him and eat with him and hear about his day and listen to his spanish.

    Rose got to go to Jonas Brothers Concert with Gentry and Mollie!!

    Soccer Banquet for Cali 🙂

    Packing, friends, laundry, 2nd Place Flag Football, and Manila Movie Night…

    PG Wrestling Tournament: Tiago and Ray Wrestled and Packer helped officiate the tables.

    More Packing…

    Rose had indoor soccer. Then Sunday we had the perfect Sunday Dinner and that night we watched the coming to the mexico mtc fireside!

    And that is how you do MTC and real Life in the same week.
