A Final Farewell at the MTC

On Wednesday, we dropped Kellen off at the MTC after he had his last big Olive Garden feast! (Of course he was to nervous to do as much damage as he usually would!) Both of our Grandmas came to say goodbye too! Of course it was hard to say goodbye for 2 years but he's doing what he should be doing! (It's crazy to think of how different Brayden will be in 2 years and it's sad that Brayden won't remember him!) Kellen's going to be an amazing missionary and we're so excited to hear all about his adventures in the MTC and then over in Belgium and France! We love you Kellen!


Proud parents with their missionary!

A proud older sister, brother-in-law, and nephew!

One last family photo!

Mom putting on his missionary tag! (As you can see, Dad was already getting emotional....in fact, he still is!)

One last brother and sister picture!

Good luck Elder Leavitt! You're going to do great!!

***Thursday, after entering the MTC, Kellen flew to San Francisco with other Elders and a Sister to appear at the French Embassy to get their French visas! The stake executive secretary happened to be on their flight too and said Kellen looked great and that he had a good visit with him!! That's our missionary!!***
