Tues Feb 27th- Todd finished packing,
with some help from John
That evening Todd was set apart by Pres Lovelle (who was called to be our new Stake President just last week) and his councilor Pres Jensen, and Todd officially became Elder Jolley,
ready to serve in the California Long Beach Mission!
That night we drove to Nephi, and spent the night at
Grandma & Grandpa Anderson and Mike's house
Wed Feb 27, 2013- We drove to Provo. First we had a nice lunch at Chuck-A-Rama (They gave Todd a complimentary meal, since he was going into the MTC)
A nice family from North Carolina was also there taking pictures with their missionary, and they offered to take the above picture of us.
Come to find out, their son, Elder Jones, is also going to the California Long Beach Mission, speaking English, also going into the MTC today at 1:15, they are wearing the exact same shoes, they are both 18 and even their birthdays are only a week apart!
Can't wait to get Elder Jolley's first letter and find out if he and Elder Jones are together in the MTC :)
Then it was time- we drove Elder Jolley into the Missionary Training Center
We pulled up at the curb, and some helpful Elders unloaded his luggage.
Elder Jolley handed over his cell phone (no, Jayci does not get to keep it :)
The last goodbyes
And then Elder Jolley was off to his new life, his two year adventure!
We love you Elder Jolley and are so proud of you and your choice to serve the Lord!
Watch out California!!
