HERE WE GO...Josh was set apart as a Missionary at 8am Oct 26th 2011, this was a very special time for our family. The spirit was definitely felt that morning. After that we made Josh's favorite breakfast, he finished last minute checks on his suitcase, then around lunch time we met up with my cousin Mark and his family, who's son Colbe reported the same day and time as Josh, to have lunch with the boys before they reported at the MTC at 1:25pm. We had been warned that you drop your Missionary off at the sidewalk and it takes less then 5 mins and ACTUALLY it only takes 2 mins. It was a very very quick process but I like it better then the way it used to be. The whole way up the hill to the MTC, Josh kept razzing me... "oh we are getting closer...are you going to cry....we are almost there Tami".... And as you will see a few pictures down I just couldn't hold back and neither could Dad. Here are some pics of that mornings events.

My cousin's wife Carol, Missionary son Elder Colbe Smelser, Mark, Josh's Dad, my Mom and Dad, Missionary Elder Josh Scott, me, my little brother Kenny, Richard and Kelli, Mark and Carol's eldest daughter and husband
This is the start of the 2 min drop off, they have a sweet Missionary right there waiting for you and your missionary to gather him and his luggage and escort them in to start their mission
