The Journey Begins 04/04/2012 at the MTC



Elder Beau Sanderson has officially begun his 2 year journey. He was dropped off at the MTC curb feeling excited and nervous at the same time. 

Uncle Beau and Paisley

Getting the good-bye's from Mom and Dad



Almost time

Hugs from Randi. This is a neat picture of the oldest and the youngest kids in our family.

Finally at the curb, getting all the bags. 


Meeting his missionary host. Randi said that all the missionary hosts were so happy and smiling, so excited for the new missionaries to come and experience the great spirit of the MTC.
The missionary Host also told Beau that this was going to be the only time that another missionary would carry his bags for him.


Saying final good-bye to Dad, the man he has always looked up to.

Getting very emotional

Getting the last hugs from Mom.

"You are called to represent the Savior. Your voice to testify becomes the same as His voice, your hands to lift the same as His hands. His work is to bless His Father's spirit children with the opportunity to choose eternal life. So, your calling is to bless lives. .
"Your call has eternal consequences for others and for you. In the world to come, thousands may call your name blessed, even more than the people you serve here. They will be the ancestors and the descendants of those who chose eternal life because of something you said or did, or even what you were. . .You see, there are no small callings to represent the Lord."
-Pres. Henry B. Eyring
