Drop Off Complete!

So it has been almost 28 hours since we have dropped off Dave at the MTC.  My thoughts over those many hours have been of gratitude, joy, fear, love and apprehension.  I am so grateful for a loving Heavenly Father, that trusts us, as silly, incompetent parents, to raise one of His stripling warriors.  I am not sure all of the credit goes to us as parents, it goes to all of our family, along with his 2 older brothers, and friends for helping Dave have the confidence to be "Called to Serve."  I am so grateful that our Heavenly Father knows Dave...his strengths, weaknesses and optimism.  We know, that as Dave serves his mission, we will be strengthened by his testimony and gain a greater desire to be more Christlike.  Here are a few pictures of us dropping off Dave, we missed Ben & Allysha, but hopefully you will enjoy...Love to all & Thank you for joining Dave and us on this journey...
