What a day... 12:30 was the time Elder Bigelow was to be dropped off at the Provo Missionary Training Center! We started the day with Breakfast at Kneaders so he could have all you can eat French Toast. Then, with a little time to spare, we stopped at See's Candy so we could fill his already full suitcases with treats. Then to the Provo Temple Parking Lot, where it might be so exciting for missionaries, but is a bit tough for mothers (this mother for sure!). Once we finished there, we all climbed back in the Excursion, Elder Bigelow said a final family prayer and then we drove into the MTC parking lot.
After a quick minute, fast hugs, and lots of tears, he was off... on his
adventure!!! The rest of us cried all the way home... we let ourselves
do that, now we have our own adventures to get to!
And Elder Bigelow's favorite scripture will get us through our adventures while he is out having his grand adventure. Isaiah 41:10 "Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness."
