Palmer Home MTC

The mission started to get real when Palmer got his mission tag in the mail!
Setting apart day (see previous post).


Palmer and his buddy Kaily from our stake are in the same district!  So fun!  Kailey is going to the Mendoza mission.
Taking some pictures for his Facebook account.

We got the guest room all ready for Home MTC!
The night he got set apart dad made cute tie rolls for dinner.
He was invited to go to a fireside at the Petersons.  Their friend was a mission president in Jamaica.  He was so excited that Palmer had just been set apart for his mission and he had him come and bear his testimony in Spanish.  It's a good thing Palmer had been learning Spanish at the zoom classes the CCM provides. 
Palmer asked for crepes for his first breakfast as a missionary.
As McKay was our only other boys home, it was a little lonely, but still fun!



All ready to start!

We got him a little gift basket for the MTC with snacks, pens, notebooks, sticky notes and then some games to take to the CCM and some things to do when he's bored.



All ready to go!

Meeting his zone!
I got to be Palmer's companion for a day of errands.  We went to Lulu Lemon to get some pants and get them altered.

Palmer got to go to a Zone Meeting with the missionaries in our zone.  My cousin's daughter is in our mission!
We loved all of the insights that Palmer would share with us from his day in the MTC.
He grew so much even in the 2 weeks of the home MTC.
His friends Mattson Peterson, Faith Hirschi and some others made him a good luck Elder Nelson sign.  So nice!
Our little band of Young Men will miss Palmer.
His zone was so fun.  We heard them laughing all the time!  They would change their backgrounds.  
The Home MTC was definitely a growing experience for Palmer! Now on to the real thing!
