We enjoyed a visit from my aunt and uncle who were dropping off their son the next day at the MTC. It was so good to see them and fun to chat! My cousin is off to Monterray, Mexico. One of my brothers recalled that the first words he heard from fellow missionaries in the MTC were "So, do you have any cool ties?" We broke out the family stash and dug out all the best ties so that my cousin would be amply prepared!
