He is off!

Elder Underwood was delivered to the MTC today. He was so ready. He was anxious all morning. He told me last night that what he was most worried about was the language. With 5 years of French and passing a test at the MTC - i am glad that was all he was worried about. I am worried about so much more. I know he will be fine. Today he wanted a scripture journal to make notes while he studies. So we passed some time going to Deseret Book. 

We went to Brick Oven Pizza in Provo. They offer free lunch to missionaries entering the MTC that day. Marshall said he doesn't smile when he is eating. 

We visited for a few minutes at the Provo Temple. 

We pulled up to the MTC and there was a herd of missionaries with smiles on their faces ready to greet the new missionaries. Elder Underwood was taken by a elder from Arkansas that was going to Taiwan. He was his host and would show him where to go.  After a hug and "I love you" - he grabbed his bag, smiled and waved. That picture says it all!

We now anxiously await his first email telling us more about his first day/days at the MTC. We love you Elder Underwood!
