Kolten's on his way...

Well, Kolt's in the MTC now. I can't even believe he's already there, today almost seems like a dream.

Last night we were able to go as a family to Gecko's and have some great food, and just spend time with one another. After dinner, we went to the church and Kolten was set apart as a missionary. It was a really neat experience, and I'm so grateful that everyone in my family was able to be there to witness it. (Kris and Tina were there too, but for some reason I don't have a pick of those two.)

This morning everyone went over to my parent's house and we had a family breakfast. We talked, laughed and cried until we needed to go.

Cute Grandma Anderson wanted to see Kolt again before he left, so we hit up grandma's house. We then made our way to Provo. The drive there was a little quiet, I think just because Kolt was letting it all soak in and that he would be serving for 2 years.

The church changed how you drop off the missionaries now. I still have mixed feelings about it, but it's for the best. You are allowed to only bring one vehicle, no one goes inside you just drop your missionary off and there on their way. I'm sure it's A LOT better on the missionaries, so it's not dragging out the time that they have with the family to say goodbye. My family is big, so not all of us were able to take him to the front where they dropped him off. So, we said our goodbye's in the front of the Provo temple. My parent's said it seriously only took 2 minutes for everything to take place. (dropping off)

I know Kolten's going to be missed, but everyone is really happy for him and his good example. The people in Ventura, CA are really lucky to have Kolten as a missionary there.
