NEXT STOP...Provo MTC

 Wednesday August 28th 2024

I asked Reed what he wanted to do with his last day at home? His first response was, "Go on a run with you." It made me melt. Especially because Reed is WAY faster than I am, but the fact that he wanted to go on a run together made me SO HAPPY, and feel special. So we went on a run, me, Reed, and of course Steve couldn't be left behind. The trio did a nice jog around the area. It was a beautiful day and a nice way to spend time together. 

Afterwards, we needed to finish packing, kinda a big deal. We accomplished that, got in a haircut, and then it was time to go get the kiddos from school so we could enjoy lunch together as a family. Reed chose Black Bear Diner, knowing it was a pretty solid place to satisfy all. We ate our grub and I of course attempted to get some pics. Not the greatest spot but I didn't want it to pass us by.

We then headed to the MTC in Provo. We were a few minutes early, So we decided to loop the neighborhood a few times. We rolled down the windows and turned up the MUCH LOVED MUSIC Reed was going to miss. It was a somber drive and one I will never forget. 

We pulled into the MTC where we were familiar with the routine. Seems like yesterday we were doing it with Noah. Stuck the posty note on the car, directed us to underground parking, cheered on by the missionaries and then hopped out of the car. We gave hugs, cried and said our "I LOVE YOU's"- Man, the second time is NO EASIER (for me at least). 

HE'S OFF! LOVE YOU REED!!!

 Reed Helm Mon, Jan 12, 8:51 PM Whats up mi amigos this week was alright. Lots of meetings... Wednesday we had interviews and Thursday we had zone conference Friday we had exchanges. To top it off i was sick my entire week so lets just say i was cooked! But thats alright  Met some really nice philipppino lady she gave us rice it was yummy. Yep that was my highlight of the week. (Spiritual thought type thing) During zone conference it was entirely focused on the Atonement of Jesus Christ i wish i could hear it all unfortunately my congestion crippled my ability to hear so... yeah but in our little breakout with our zone we were ble to hear like a two minute description of a Christlike attribute from each missionary in the zone it was amazing to think that the savior encompassed them all perfectly. Wild so if your needing a spiritual upliftment go read about the Christlike Attributes of the savior and pick one thing that would help you improve in that aspect. Thats an invitation...
