One Year Ago Today....

May 31, 2006, Andrew entered the Provo, UT Missionary Training Center. This year flew by at lightning speed! After 3 weeks in the Provo MTC, Andrew went to the Lima, Peru MTC for the balance of his training prior to his departure for the Peru, Trujillo Mission. He has grown leaps and bounds since these photos were taken
Katherine and Megan saying their final good-byes. This was rough on Megan.
Elder Hostetler with "Papa Smurf" and me. We are not sure how or why Andrew gave that term of endearment to his dad, but it stuck. Andrew's friends know exactly who "Papa Smurf" is.
Along with an entire spectrum of emotion, Andrew was tired of waiting, tired of photos, and just plain tired and hungry as we arrived at the MTC. He was not sure if he wanted to eat before we arrived, then he decided he was hungry and we were afraid of being late if we went in search of food.

Wow! Has it really been one year since Andrew left? Time flies. He'll be home before you know it. Shauna, I love your blog! It's so great. I enjoy reading all your posts. I wish I could keep mine up to date like you do :)

Love,
Amy
