(Except for Elder Rabner who went for a run around the field we were playing in.)  Sisters Shakespear and Eck, (who...

After Alexis's final training class on Monday, the family loaded up and headed to UT. They took Tuesday to recuperate from the drive and spend time with family and on Wednesday, June 14th Alexis entered the MTC in Provo Utah!  Here are the pictures her dad shared on Facebook when they got back. As you can see in the pictures, saying goodbye is never an easy thing to do! This is Alex's MTC Companion Sister Thayne
