Flood Warning

Okay, just to warn you, prepare for a flood of posts as I catch up to where I need to be on my blog.

 First, an update.  We saw Matt off to the LDS Missionary Training Center on May 2.  It was a happy and exciting day for our family to see our boy leave for 2 years to serve the Lord.  He will be at the MTC till July learning the Spanish language and training to be a Missionary.  This training consists largely of learning how to follow the promptings of the Holy Ghost in preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Before going to the MTC, we went to the park, ate MacDonald's breakfast and played frisbee.


Taking a rest.

Then we went home, Matt changed into his suit, and we left for the MTC.


We had no one to take our picture, so we had to do it in shifts.

Since I write to Matt on a daily basis to keep him posted on family happenings, future blog posts will largely consist of my letters to him.  The letters will begin "Dear Elder" because LDS missionaries go by the title "Elder" as in Elder Smith, Elder Jones, etc.   Enjoy!
