Drop-off at the MTC

Nina, Bart, and Angela

Angela and the two Elders escourting her away

What a short trip! Angie's arrival time for the MTC was 1:45 p.m., so we (Bart, Nina, Nathan, & Angie) left the house around 1:25 p.m. As we approached the MTC we could see missionaries and their families taking pictures around the entrance to the MTC. I was glad we'd done our picture taking early. We had our entrance permit on the dashboard and drove in. We got a pink sticky note put on the windshield and we were directed to go to the left. All down the sidewalk there were Elders waiting for cars to pull up so they could help unload and carry off the luggage of the new missionaries. Around, and farther around, the MTC we went until we pulled up along the curb. In just a few minutes Angie was out of the car and her two bags were out of the back. A few quick pictures were taken. We each gave her a hug. Then two fine Elders took her luggage and walked her to the Sisters' dorm where a group of Sisters were waiting to welcome her in. (I have since learned the Maegan Clawson, another missionary from our Ward, got to show her around.) Bart, Nathan, and I got back in the car, followed the road around where it exited by the BYU Press Building and headed home. We were back in the house by 2:05 p.m. Whew! So I set to work making cookies so Angie and her district could have a treat box the very next day.
