What To Expect At the MTC?

Landon was scheduled to enter the MTC on November 28th 2008 and we planned to go down alone with him that morning. Brian and Landon were both good with that and they pretty much said their good-byes Tuesday night. We had some surprise visitors at 2:00! Anna and Curt snuck in to town with a 12 pack of “DEW” for Landon. We sat up and talked for an hour or so and then tried to go to bed again. Too excited!Wednesday morning we got up and got loaded the car while Brian got ready for seminary, school, and his basketball game that night. We all left about 6:50 am and we were almost to Twin Falls when the phone rang and Brian asked “Is it too late? Can I still go?” We were so glad! He got to his seminary class and thought “What am I doing?” We met up with him and the two boys hung out in the back seat on our way to Provo. We were very glad to have them together for the day.
When we got to the MTC everything was so organized. Landon’s cousin, Matt Zweifel, met us at the main entrance and it was so good to see him! Landon got his name tag and “dork dot” to show he was a newbie! We went in to the main meeting chapel and had a wonderful and short devotional and meeting. I felt so good about leaving him there in such good hands. The good-byes were quick and fairly painless! Like a band-aid - - get it over with quick and it doesn’t hurt so much!
