Elder Brown Leaves

The rest of the pictures of the MTC drop off... Thanks Andrea. There really isn't much explanation needed for most of them. It was a bittersweet day as the family was sad that we will not have Eric with us but so excited to see him serve the Lord. 

Andrea and I are vain over this picture. The 3 boys with their yellow and blue ties and mission tags.

Kaylie with her Uncle Eek. 

Ok, this picture is heart breaking and you don't get the half of it from this image.  Kaylie is bawling on Grandma's shoulder. From the moment they told us that it was time to say good bye until we had left the MTC and been driving for at least 15 minutes she cried on and off sometimes almost uncontrollably. I felt really bad. We had been talking for weeks about Eric going on a mission and what that meant and where he was going but I never thought for one second that she was going to react the way she did. She loves her uncle!
