Bronson reports to the MTC!!!

This week has been an exciting one! Bronson flew in from Salem to SLC and stayed with us! He is such an amazing kid! At the end of his stay with us, we were blessed with the opportunity of taking him to the MTC and seeing him go "behind the veil", or into the "bubble" of the MTC. We are so excited for him! We took a bunch of pictures...so here they all are:

Brandon had to remind Bronson to do up his collar and tighten his tie before going into the MTC....what a funny kid!

Look at him! What a stud!

There he goes...in the door to get his first packet.

Some lady started talking to a bunch of the Elders as they walked into the MTC. So, Michelle took a picture of him listening. ;-)

This lady was checking all of the Elder's coat pockets to see if they were unstitched. Well, Bronson's was stitched...

...so, he asked Michelle to be his substitute Mom by fixing his suit and then putting his name tag on him. She got a kick out of that!

Starting...

...opening the pocket...

...mounting the official name tag!

They were both pretty pumped and I was happy taking pictures!

There he is world! Elder Bronson Garner (complete with orange dot!)! What a sharp looking kid!

I was lucky enough to get in one last picture with him...just as two brothers. I am so proud of him!

There we are...the last of the pics. After this, we weren't allowed to take anymore pictures.

Next, we went into a large room with all the 12:00 arrivals and had a brief meeting with the MTC Presidency where we sang "Called to Serve" (Oh, the sweet memories!). After that, we stood, hugged and said our good-byes. My eyes were full as we embraced each other for the last time for two years. I know he is now in the Lord's hands entirely and that he'll be one of the greatest missionaries out there...so watch out old scratch!
