Lauren Reports to The Missionary Training Center (MTC)!

Robin, Lauren, & Kathleen at SLC Temple Square. We were able to do

some sealings and attend a live endowment session at the SLC Temple.

Saying our goodbye's at the parking lot across from the MTC.

First of all, I just wanted to make sure that everyone knows that the Elder behind Lauren was farther than arms length from  her, despite what it looks like. I know, because I took the picture. Robin & I took Lauren to Utah early so that we could attend conference together, and to spend some much desired 2 on 1 time with her. We dropped Lauren off curbside at the MTC at 1:00pm on October 6th. These two kind Elders were waiting to help her with her luggage. Robin cried more than I did when we dropped her off, but I have cried more than him since that day. What can we say we love Lauren and we are so-o-o proud of her!!!!!!!! I wonder if she was embarrassed about me yelling out of my car window as we drove off, "Bye Lauren, I mean Sister Perez, We Love You!" at least three times.
