Elder Leavitt Enters the MTC

Wednesday, October 14, 2009 Elder Cameron Leavitt offically entered the Provo MTC. He will be there for two months as he learns Tagalog language. Here are the few pictures we took when we dropped him off.
Me and Cam in the truck before we got to the MTC. I was still smiling. After I took this picture I asked him what he was thinking because he was real quiet. He said he felt like he was going to throw up. Nerves.

All of us trying to smile as Colby takes our picture.

Elder Leavitt and his Big Bro. It was hard for all of us.
Cam and Colby saying good bye. Colby was great to keep us trying to enjoy the moment. And that was all we got was a moment. As soon as we unloaded his bags, the missionary greeting us started to walk away with Cam's bag. I said "That's it, he has to leave now", and the answer was yes. We all took a last hug and watched him walk away. He is so ready to be a missionary and serve the people in the Philippines for the next two years. We are so very proud of his decision to serve the Lord for the next two years. We are looking forward to his first letter and we will keep you updated on his service and experiences. Ohh, the video is from the kids practicing the song they sang at his farewell. This is for you Grandma Haupt. Enjoy!
