After a "last meal" at Chuck-A-Rama, we took Tyson to the MTC. They leave no time for hugs or tearful good-byes. There were over 640 missionaries entering today and they have the process down! We got to see Elder Kealer walking by us on the sidewalk with his host missionary. Tyson's host missionary was in his district although he would be going to Croatia. He told us Tyson would be in class in 10 minutes!
Tyson will be in the MTC until September 6. His address is:
Elder Tyson William Pace
SEP 06 ENG-LEE
2005 N 900 E Unit 149
Provo, UT 84602
If you go to DearElder.com you can send a letter for free to the Provo MTC. Select Provo MTC and you will use SEP 6 as his departure date, 149 as his unit number and ENG-LEE as his mission. If you submit your letter before noon it is printed and delivered to him that day. After noon it will be printed and delivered the following day. I know he would love to hear from any of you!
Oh my goodness! I'm teary just reading this post. I can't even imagine what it was like for you to drop him off! Been thinking of Elder Pace all day today. I'm so excited for him, for your family! But sad for all of us who have to go without seeing him for the next two year. England sure is blessed to have him coming their way!
