MTC or Bust!

Today I entered the MTC! I was so excited, nervous, and did I say excited?? I have waited for this day for a long time and it is finally here. I am a bit nervous to learn the Spanish language but I can't think of a better place to learn it and to use it than in the MTC for the Lord's work Houston.
It was hard to say goodbye to my family but I know there are people waiting for me!

Getting set apart as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints

Today I spent the afternoon with 2 amazing girls....my NYC sisters! I love these girls so much. I was so excited that we could spend the afternoon together before i went into the MTC tomorrow and will miss them so so much!
Tonight I got set apart as a Missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I was set apart at 7:00 pm by my Stake President Lawrence Duffin. My Amiga Adrie was there along with Connor, the Dunn's, my Grandma and Grandpa Hunt as well as my bishop Chris Hansbrow and my family.
I received an amazing blessing and got some great insight and promises that has me inspired to be the best missionary I can be! I am excited to begin this journey and so blessed to be teaching the Spanish people in Houston, Texas.

Watch out Houston here I come!

So glad I got to go through this experience with my brother Hunter
Houston and Africa will be blessed!

Our Farewell!

What an amazing day and I got to share it with Hunter! We gave our Farewell talks in church and had such a great crowd of our family and friends. It was so awesome to be able to share it with Hunter. We went to my Grandma Hunt's afterward for a brunch. We had Farmer's Breakfast, muffins, fruit, milk, and juice. My Grandma, Aunt Sandy, Aunt Linda, and Aunt Mandy really made it a special day for Hunter and I as they prepared it all and kept the trays full of food and made everything look and taste so yummy! My mom and I counted and figured we feed about 98 people.
I am so blessed to have such an amazing group of family and friends that came to support us. It was a special day and a great way to start off my mission!
