| 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! |
