The Adventure Begins

After saying goodbye to his grandparents, bro-in-law Jeff Christensen and family (plus mom Rose) drove Elder Hadden to the new MTC (Missionary Training Center).  We got a blue stickie note on our windshield, and were directed to the underground parking.  There, a host elder met our car, and was ready to take Elder Hadden to all the places he needed to go, show him around, explain the ropes, etc.  A few tears were shed (none by Elder Hadden, of course, but he was a little nervous), and the two Elders walked off.  We drove off in another direction, and that was that.

We received an email from Elder Hadden a few hours later:

"Hey all,

I'm here. Everybody's super nice. I feel pretty good, and everybody's speaking in Mandarin. Hope you're doing great!"


Note:  Host Elder is Elder Addison McDaniel from Denver, CO, a "friend" of Elder Hadden's cousin, Marissa Hadden.
