On November 7, 2012, we took Tanner to the Missionary Training Center in Provo, Utah to receive training for three weeks for his mission to Peru, the Lima, Peru West mission. Garrett and Talmage were left at home for scholastic reasons. It was a quick three day trip to Provo, but it was a nice time to spend with Tanner before he left.
On the morning of the 7th we left Grandma's in SLC where we stayed the night and drove for Provo. We had the traditional lunch at JDawgs and friends and family were there(Brian Gardiner, Cami Larsen, the Ivins, and Jordan and Logan.) Then the three of us drove to the MTC. We were directed to parking space #1 and got out. A couple pictures were snapped and Tanner scampered off. We thought we were experienced parents and this experience would bridle our emotions, but as we drove off, the waterworks began. We are going to miss him, but are also so happy for the experience he will enjoy, and the people he will serve.
