Emily goes to the MTC

On Wednesday June 10th, my youngest sister Emily entered the MTC. I almost did not go, but am soooo glad that I went to wish her luck. It was a bitter sweet day… mainly because it is the beginning of change for me. I don’t really enjoy change all that much, so to see Emily enter the MTC and to know that I will be in West Virginia when she gets home is kind of hard. I am not going to say I did not cry… because I did (just a little).

I am so proud of Emily… she has a great desire to serve a full time mission, and will do great in Nashville Tennessee. She already loves the people and knows this is what she needs to do at this time in her life. She will make a great missionary… she already is. Here are some pictures from are trip to Utah, enjoy:

THE NIGHT BEFORE

This is a picture of my Uncle and Aunt (Dan and Janice Hegerhorst) and my sister Emily. My Uncle and Aunt are in the MTC right now, preparing to go to Uruguay on a mission as well. What a neat experience for Emily to be with them in the MTC at the same time.

Janice eating a snail... I posted this picture mainly for my cousins: Jessica, Mitch and Christina to enjoy. Your parents are so excited, and are using as much Spanish as they can in their sentences.

THE BIG DAY

Sister Emily Hegerhorst... she is so cute!

P.S. If anyone is interested in reading some of her emails or looking at some pictures she sends us I started a blog in her behalf. You can find the link just to the left of this post; I will do my best to update it as much as possible.
