The Long Awaited Day!

The day began early that beautiful morning of June 22 2011.After waiting for 5 month to begin her mission, Brooke was finally entering the MTC in Provo, Utah. The days are gone where parents could enter into the MTC and say goodbye to their missionary son or daughter. Today the procedure included going to the Provo Temple grounds and taking several pictures and then heading back down to the MTC just a mile away and drop off our missionarydaughter. As we open the car door we were greeted by several missionaries who were ever so eager to wisk Brooke away. They did tell us to take our time, but as other missionaries were arriving and getting out of their parents car, it was easy to see the time would not wait to long. After a couple of pictures, these same missionaries were ready to take the baggage and escort Brooke to the front doors of the MTC. We said goodbye, with a few tears and then Brooke confidently walked down the sidewalk ready to begin a new and exciting chapter in her life. Melbourne, Australila, Sister Brooke Baker will be there soon. We love you and will miss you greatly!.This is where the Lord wants you to be. "Go forth and serve"
