On Monday Allan and Annette reported to the MTC for the mission. We had the opportunity to go to dinner with the Utah family at Maddox on Saturday for one last time for at least a year and 1/2. It was a lot of fun! We met Burke, Michelle, Grandma, Brayden, Branson, Brynlee, Gary, Ann and Jared there with Allan and Annette. We had thought to do this earlier in the day so luckily we made reservations because we know Maddox is always packed and although we had reservations it still took them a minute to get us in. We had a lot of fun with them there! We took pictures, talked, laughed and enjoyed our time together. Jared (our nephew) surprised everyone with a nice new missionary haircut. He has had his hair really long the last little while and he looked like a different person that night at dinner. I think it was the perfect gift for Allan and Annette before they left!
On Sunday we went to church with them then spent some time with them that afternoon at Burke's for Brayden's birthday dinner. He had been ordained a priest that day as well which is pretty special! The following day Kip was able to go to the MTC with them and say goodbye. I bet it was neat and they are so excited to be going. They will do amazing on their mission and because they are such loving and giving individuals they will touch many peoples lives!
We love you Allan and Annette! Good luck in Mexico City!
