On February 10, 2010, Tyler entered the MTC in Provo Utah. Mom and Dad took him down and dropped him off at the front doors, where he was met by another elder who helped carry in his luggage and take him to his room. This was a bitter sweet moment for Mom and Dad, who have spent 41 years of their lives raising their kids. Tyler's best friends are Mom and Dad. He has a very close relationship with them and this has been hard, especially for Mom to say goodbye. But, they are so proud of Tyler for making this decision to go serve the people of Gautemala and more importantly, the Lord for these next 2 years.
Here is a picture of Tyler outside the MTC. Mom said that he was ready to go. He was so tired of all the emotions of telling family and friends goodbye. He was just anxious to go and get his mission underway.
Tyler wanted his last lunch to be from McDonalds...a double cheeseburger. I am surprised he would even want to eat at this moment. I would be sick to my stomach. Mom and Dad are home now and say that it is kind of different to not have Tyler come check in at midnight or just sit on their bed and visit with them. Dad said he will miss the head rubbing and the long arms drapped around his shoulders. It will take time for them to get used to him being gone. The time will start flying by and he will be home before we know it.
