The Mission Begins Here....Provo,Utah- Missionary Training Center

Today is the day! Elder Nick Sahagun reports to the Missionary Training Center in Provo, Utah! There was a knock on the door of our home in Cedar city at about 8:30. Nick's friends,Spencer Crankshaw and his little brother Andersen, and Jared Delaigle were her to see Nick off. Nick was taking one last opportunity to sleep in before his missionary schedule of waking up at 6:30 every morning for the next two years began. His friends were very excited to be able to be the ones to "motivate"  him to get out of bed one last time before he left!! They've been great friends and they'll each be leaving soon to serve their own missions.
Our family took the three hour drive to Provo from Enoch as a family. We listened to the sounds of hymns being played with an acoustic guitar per Nick's request. Tyler, Jessica, and Nick entertained themselves with Tic-Tac-Toe championships, thumbs wars, drawing pictures, and twenty questions. Nick stumped us with his choice of a missionary name tag. We had a quick lunch, drove to the temple took some family pictures and then it was time to drop him off. We said a quick goodbye and he was off!  I know that he will be a wonderful missionary and that his testimony of Jesus Christ will be a blessing to many.

Go Forth with Faith!
