Elder Neal Anderson entered the MTC!

Wednesday, May 16, 2012!!! MTC Day! When Bryce entered the MTC, we were all able to go in and mom was able to put his badge on his suit. Well, since they've changed how the missionary enters the MTC now, we acted out our own. My mom had Bryce's badge from his mission and with it being in spanish, it was perfect! Mom still had her moment!

A big hug for mom!

Elder Neal Anderson and proud mom!

The Anderson Family, minus Lara who was at work. We could all tell Neal was a little anxious, plus it was a little warm outside and he was wearing a suit!

Neal, Mom, and Dad! Excited for the experiences the next 2 years brings us all!

Neal receiving love from his 2 cute sisters! We also reinacted this picture out as we had done with Bryce! Emily and I hope to find our Prince Charming's and get married while Neal is out, but if not, all the better for him to be there when he gets home!

Siblings! We all love each other so much! I love that we are all so close and love to do things with one another! How great is Family! Now that pictures were done, we took off to Brick Oven Pizza in Provo for lunch!

Bryce & Neal in front of the MTC!

As we walked across to the front of the MTC to take pictures, my dad noticed Neal's friend Skyler Trent. He waved to Skyler and soon Skyler saw him and waved back. I think this was a great blessing for Neal as well as the rest of us, who was obviouslly sad to leave his family and we were drying tears from saying good-bye to him. But upon seeing Skyler, he immediately had a huge smile on his face. Skyler was a "host" and was able to be Neal's host into the MTC. As they walked away, Skyler told Neal, "You're in good hands...really good hands!"

One last hug for Mom!

"He's in good hands...really good hands!"
