Farewell

Yesterday the kids and I (Jena) got to take Elder Mortenson to the MTC. He flew in from Medford the day before and we were fortunate enough to be able to pick him up and have him stay the night with us.
It was nice to have some good one-on-one time with Uncle Trav before he left.
Logan was especially enamored by him and kept asking if he could go with Uncle Trav on his mission. (I'm sure that day will come all too soon.)
Elder Mortenson was very happy about going. You could tell he was a tad bit nervous but who wouldn't be?
It was hard to say goodbye but he did so without any tears! As for me..I held mine in until I got in the car.
We love you, Travis and know that you will be the best missionary. You have strength and power and courage like no one else. We will miss you but we are grateful for your good example and faith!
