A few pictures of the "drop-off". There were hundreds of missionaries being dropped off, it was a fantastic sight. Moms and Dads were crying every where you looked, and the missionaries too. We even got a little weepy ourselves. We had to drive in past the two missionaries in the yellow coats in the one picture, then we turned left and were directed by more missionaries in yellow coats to a spot by the curb. We actually went around the end of the building. Then after we stopped, a missionary with a HOST badge came over to our car to meet Elder Scott. The host asked Steve where he was from , where he was going, did he have a cell phone on him, or any other electronic devices, and any car keys. If he had any of those things he had to relinquish them to his parents. Steve had all ready done all that. Then we hugged Steve one more time and he and the host walked away with the luggage. Steve didn't even look back. Good for him. We then exited the parking lot by a different route and headed out of town and to Great Falls. We spent a wonderful two and a half days with Steve before we dropped him off, and really enjoyed our trip. Letting him go was way easier than Mom had expected. Steve was ready to go, and he looked ready when you looked into his face and eyes. I'm confident he is going to be a great missionary.
