Hannah at the MTC

This was a wonderful week for us and our daughter Hannah, who entered to Missionary Training Center to learn the Czech language. She will be serving for 18 months as a missionary of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We are soooooo happy for her! Though we are missing her terribly!


The day before she entered the Mission Training Center in Provo Jeff hiked with her past the "Y" to his special spot where they talked, wrote, and shared a nice prayer.


Hannah was set apart by her stake president on Tuesday, December 2, at about 9:00 pm. He gave a beautiful blessing and promised her the gift of tongues to be able to quickly learn the Czech language. We are grateful for that! On Wednesday, Jeff also gave her a blessing which brought tears to our eyes. We are going to miss her, but the overwhelming feeling is that she is doing exactly the right thing at exactly the right time.


Here are family members who came to the MTC to see Hannah off. If you can't tell, Hannah is very happy and is very stunning with her new hair cut!



Hannah posed with her sisters, who are all photogenic.




Both Hannah and Tammy were very happy for this joyous day. Hannah was blessed to have Tammy to help her with all the shopping. She got lots of beautiful outfits and will look the part of a dedicated (but stylish) sister missionary.


Here is Hannah with two of our future missionaries, Cam and Seth.



Lastly, here is Hannah with Jeff. He doesn't know what he'll do without his SPSS girl. We love Hannah so much. Please write her:
