Adios Nuestra Querida Prima

Tess went into the MTC today.  She's been super excited to go on a mission for a long time, and the day finally arrived.  She has been called to serve in Bakersfield, California Spanish speaking.  Michelle came out with her to finish up preparations and put her into the MTC, and we sadly had to say goodbye.  We went for ice cream at the BYU Creamery yesterday evening, to catch up and encourage Tess in her next great adventure.  Then today, Brandt went with Michelle to drop Tess off at the MTC.  We will miss her, but we are certain she will be a fine missionary and do good work in helping to build the kingdom in California. 

Godspeed, Tess!
