First Day

After a hectic morning of last-minute organizing, gathering, and packing, we took Shane to the MTC yesterday morning. We were supposed to arrive at 11:30 but were a half hour late. I understand that it doesn't matter too much what time you get there -- they just give a specific time to try to keep everyone from arriving at once.

We took pictures and went inside where Shane got his missionary badge (in Spanish). Then we sat through a dozen or two Mormon ads (Family -- isn't it about time?) and then enjoyed the meeting welcoming the missionaries and assuring the families. Then after several tearful moments and hugs, Shane was off on the adventure of a lifetime.

Photos soon to come ...
