Day 1 - Entering the MTC

Cecily entered the Provo MTC Wednesday, October 14, 2015 with a 1:15 drop off.  It was an absolutely beautiful, bright, sunny fall day in Provo.  We flew out to Utah on Tuesday from Atlanta.  Grandma & Grandpa Roberts came up to see Cecily and spend the night.  We had a great trip. We were able to visit her cousins Devon, Dev, their son Liam, and Zach Ward.  It was a fun brief visit.  We also got together that evening with Karin Jorgensen for dinner and ice cream.

Cecily woke up on Wednesday so happy and excited to be finally starting her mission.  That made it easier for us, to say the least.  We had a pleasant surprise with her aunt Natalie driving up that morning from Beaver to join us for lunch and to say goodbye.  We all went to the Provo temple grounds for a few pictures, hugs, then headed to the MTC to drop her off.  We were so proud of Cecily ... once we pulled into the MTC, gave her one last hug and said goodbye, she grabbed her bags and headed into the MTC and never looked back.  No tears, no second thoughts, she was ready to go and fully committed.

We are still waiting to hear from her and can't wait!
