Seven days and nights

Mum here: McKay entered the Missionary Training Center  MTC today.  Here's a review of the past seven days in pictures.


Day - 7: Polar Vortex moves over Metro Washington DC. Temple closed. San Francisco trip to visit French consulate, cancelled. SNOW. 




Day -6: On edge, don't talk to me, decide to pack. 



Day -5: Temple Trip. Finally. Best day of my life.

Day - 4: Last chance to pack. Feeling frantic. Mom's are the best. Sleeping with doggies. Kiva tries to climb in the suitcase too. 




Day -3: Farewell talk at church. Grandparents came. Set apart as missionary. Lots of tears. Good tears. 



Day -2: Say goodbye to Fajah--my Dad. Fly to Utah. Visited with Grandparents and Atkins. Haley taught me "Christlike love and service."



Day -1: Session at South Jordan Temple with Mom and Alex. Off to Provo to visit with dear friends and for "Last Supper".

Thai Evergreen restaurant in Provo--curries and lemongrass soup. 



Day 0: Last moments with the family, glomming, yoga and tender hugs.

Seven minutes to go. 

 It's been a whirlwind, but everything worked out great and she was SOOOO excited to get to the MTC.
