Elder Justin Merrill

We took Justin to the MTC on Wednesday. What a wonderful place for a mom and dad to leave their son. Heavenly Father's Spirit is so strong there. It was not too hard for me to leave him at all. A few tears and good byes and he was off. He didn't even look back. Good for him. I was so proud of him. He will be leaving for the Ukraine on July 24th. I can't wait to get his first letter.

Wow! I can't believe that Justin is old enough to go on a mission! That is wonderful, although every time I drive by that place I think it would be so hard to walk out one side, while they walk through the other. Congratulations!
