Dropping Jessica at the MTC

Well Jessica is safely at the MTC. So I (Jessica's mom) get the privilege of posting everything from now on, until of course she returns in about 18 months. The first sticker on her poster went up today, courtesy of Sarah. 

We took some pictures at the Provo temple, which I have posted. I pointed out to everyone that I didn't remember the flowers being so beautiful when I was at the MTC. Then Jess pointed out that it was winter when I was here. No wonder. But really they were to die for. If only my roses at home could look and smell like the ones there. 

Dropping her off today made me think back to when I was there some 20 years ago. I enjoyed the MTC a lot. Which might have had something to do with my companion Sister Peggy Noorlander (now Urry)!  We became partners in crime and gave the MTC a run for it's money. I can only hope that Jessica will also find a life long friend in her companion who she should've met by now. Jessica is very easy going so I'm not too worried. She has a much stronger testimony than I had and she has more gospel knowledge. She is hitting the ground running. What a great time to be a missionary, I'm jealous I wish I could go with her. 

I will post her first letter/email as soon as I receive it. We are all anxious to know all the details of her MTC life. Thank you to all our friends, neighbors and family for all your support and love to Jessica. It truly takes a village to raise a child. Santa Clara is the best!
