The day that Carson has long awaited for finally came! He entered the MTC yesterday and began his service in behalf of our Lord. What a beautiful experience it was. There was a tangible feeling as we entered through the gates at the MTC. I could hardly believe it. I felt great and I know Carson did too. We arrived twenty minutes early, dropped him and his luggage off, gave him a hug (He gave me a package of tissues, I didn't even need them.) and off he went. It was a beautiful sight. The spirit was so strong and Carson was beaming. I'm thrilled that he is finally a missionary. He'll be missed greatly, yet he'll be home before we know it. This morning as Lydia prayed she expressed gratitude that Carson is in the MTC and then asked that he get home safely. We then talked about many of the things that would happen before Carson returned home.
I received a call this evening from a ward member. Her father had just called her and told that Elder Butt is one of the new Elders in his district. She said that her mother and father will take good care of my boy while he's in the MTC. It was great to hear that.
