3 Days to go!As I sit here thinking that Hope will be entering the MTC in just 3 short days, I am at aw at the person that has evolved in our home, Hope has gone from a teenager, to a young lady, to a missionary!
Today between conferences they did a short program about the MTC in Provo, and I am so glad that I watched it, it gave me an idea of what will happen on Wednesday, when we say goodbye to our precious daughter, and sister for 18 months. Hope is going to be a great missionary.
There is so much in my heart today, it was just 1 short week ago that she gave her farewell in church, and let me tell you that this past week week has flown by. And to think in 1 week Hope will have been in the MTC for 4 days.
I was talking to a friend of mine the other day, and I mentioned that this mission call is the first for a female in our families, no where in our family history have I a found a girl that served a mission, so this is a BIG DEAL, and she replied, "It is a Big Deal"
Also, during general conference yesterday, President Monson announced that a temple is going to be built in Cedar City, Utah! Happy Day! now we will have a temple in our back yard, well it will be 10 miles away, but heck, it's going to be right here at our fingertips. And then during conference my beautiful daughter Cierra looks at me and says, "Mom, I can get married in the Cedar City Temple", and that hit me like a ton of bricks, and I answered " Yes You Can" ( hopefully that won't be for a while). The Lord is truly blessing us.
Well guys, thanks for reading. Will keep you posted.
This is what is on Hope's Cedar Chest:
