Goodbye David, hello Elder Monson




On October 3, 2010, David officially becomes Elder Monson 

Loading the cab for the trip to the airport.  David stopped and took one last look around, the last time he would see his home for two years.


Waiting at the airport for the flight to Texas, then onto SLC, UT.

This is the way David likes to travel, whether in the car or plane, it is the same.

Checking out of the hotel.
Loading up the car for the trip to Provo and the MTC.
Lunch at the Brick Oven, family tradition or free cookies and lollipops for new missionaries?

At the famous MTC sign, which was recently removed . . . but it is tradition.
One last family picture with the Provo Temple in the background.
Unloading David's suitcases in front of the MTC.  Lots of other Elders to help newly arriving missionaries.
David is happy he is finally at the MTC.  This is the last time we will see him for two years.  We know you will make a great missionary!

Starting My Blog!

I decided to start a blog for my mission. Of course I will not be able to maintain this blog while I am out but my family will update everything that is going on with me in Sydney on this blog. Most of my letters, E-Mails, and photos that I send from my mission will be updated to this blog. So anyone that wants to know what and how I'm doing, this will be the place to look at.
