Hilary had a relatively short time between her call and reporting to the MTC--about 6 1/2 weeks. She had lots to do to get ready and no real semblance of understanding the real "COLD" she was preparing for. She talked to people who "knew" New England, made lots of lists and checked things off; got her necessary shots, made purchases according to the instructions sent from Salt Lake, received her Temple Endowments, spoke in Church and and had an open house for friends and relatives, wrapped things up at Hair-do, celebrated Christmas early and had a memorable setting apart by Stake President Russell Thornock. Then she packed and said her good-byes. She had accomplished all she needed to do in Salt Lake and had made the last two trips to Target for things she needed.
Sister Worthen was asked to report at 12:30. It was raining and cold.
She was exhausted but excited.
THE TIME HAD COME!
Sister Worthen signs in
Gets Instructions
Gets her Missionary badge--A Mother's Dream!!!
And one last hug.....So Proud of You!!!
The last picture we took was the one by the international Christmas tree at the top of this blog. We were then asked to put our cameras away as we proceeded to her first meeting.
This will be the last post in my words. From now on I will be sharing only Hil's thoughts and pictures as she sends them to the family. To all who read this and care about Sister Worthen, we love you and thank you with all our hearts for the love and support you have shown to her. We are so grateful that she has an opportunity to serve the Lord and represent our family in this glorius work. (Posted by Mom)
