Chad and the MTC

Well Chad is now Elder Thompson and is spending his days in the MTC. I am so excited for him. My parents already got a letter and he is doing great. He is loving his companion and is really excited about being a missionary. He entered the MTC on Wednesday of last week and it was really neat to be there with him. Sarah was so good, and there were only a few tears shed. And I have to say that I really enjoyed it, my Mom said that it was harder than sending Nate off, but for Nate they just took him to the airport-he went to the MTC in Brazil. But seeing as they wouldn't let any of us kids go with them, this was my first experience on sending a missionary off, and I thought that it was very nice and really exciting. He left his wallet at my house so I had to drop by the MTC a little later and took him some cookies, well they had to be shipped to him, but BYU Mailing sends the first MTC package for free, so it worked out. I'll see if I can get some pictures from my sister. So pictures to come later!
