Taking Bradley to the MTC was the hardest thing I've ever had to do! We woke up and went through his bags one last time , Then we got in the car and drove to Provo. We went and had lunch at Magelby's then we headed over to the MTC. We parked the car across the street and walked over to take pictures in front of the MTC sign, Then we took a few more pictures on the lawn, I wanted to wait a few more minutes to get in the car and drive over to the MTC but Bradley said "It's time for me to go." So we said a family prayer and drove over to the MTC, as we drove through the long driveway and seen all the missionaries lined up to escort them in it really hit that he was leaving us for 2 years. When we stopped at the curb the escort was walking toward us so Brad and I got out of the car with Bradley and gave him one more big hug, then Brad took a few pictures, when his escort got to us he looked at Bradley and said "I'll get your bags" Brad took a picture of them together and I hurried and hugged him one last time, then they walked away from us. Bradley looked confident and ready. He didn't look back once, He just talked to the missionary as they walked away. We cried all the way home.

Thanks for sharing this. You should be a writer!!
Thinking of you lots and enjoyed writing to Elder Brad today. Already sent. Mark wrote a few days ago.
so thrilling --the things he is doing. I'm sure he appreciates his loving and disciplined upbringing more every day.
