Taking Alyssa to the MTC




We had a wonderful day taking Alyssa to the MTC. We stopped by Magleby's on the way and had breakfast then killed a little time walking around Riverwoods. When we went to drop off her luggage, we were greeted by Elder Story, a young man with cerebral palsy from Alpine who is serving a service mission at the MTC. After a last photo op in the lobby, we attended an orientation meeting with Alyssa. The opening hymn was, "Called to Serve." After the benediction, we shared some hugs and tears then Alyssa exited under the sign that read: "Missionaries Exit Here" and we went the opposite direction. We are all really proud of Alyssa and are excited to hear what she is learning in the MTC!

  1. How exciting. We can't wait to hear more about her MTC adventures. Will she be able to email you soon or does she have to wait until she's in the field to send emails?
