The Temple

24 June 2021 

Although Grace went to the temple the week before she went into the MTC, I wanted to save those photos here.  It was a small group.  COVID 19 protocols required us to keep it small.  We drove up from Saratoga Springs to the Ogden Temple.  We were nearly 30 minutes late due to a rainstorm that caused crazy traffic.  There we met my mom--Grace's Grandma Sharon.  Also, Grandpa Guy, Aunt Amy, Uncle Alan, Uncle Aaron Cox and Aunt Ann.  A small but very nice group!

They keep only posting in reverse order.  And its really late and I re-uploaded and unselected and re-selected them a few times to get them loaded in the right order and...still didn't work.  So...these are backwards order from the last photo as Grace went through security to get to her gate and fly to Washington DC...to the first day of her online MTC experience at home.

Arrival Photos

Grace uploaded these photos of her on the plane and then in her hotel room the next morning before going to breakfast and meeting their trainers .  We received this letter from the Mission President as well as a few photos. August 20, 2021 Dear Brother and Sister Cox, Hello from the Washington DC North Mission! We are so excited to have Sister Cox in our mission. She is going to bless many lives and grow so much. We know your family will be blessed by her service. When we were set apart as Mission President and Companion, we were given stewardship over the missionaries that are sent to us. We feel so honored to have this privilege. We will love and support your missionary like we were beautifully taught in the MTC, to lead and love in the Savior’s way. We look forward to serving together and love her already! Warmly, President and Sister Neilson

 4 August 2021 Remember how last week we had that amazing lesson and the Spirit was so strong and we all cried? Well, we did that again this week. But this time our Spanish was horrible to the point where Hermana Cannon and I took a deep breath, put the sentence "I'm sorry our Spanish is so horrible, but thanks for being patient with us" into Google translate and completely butchered the pronunciation. Oh well, you win some you lose some I guess hahaha. I once read somewhere that prior to an engagement on the Bachelor/Bachlorette, they spend a grand total of around 48 hours together.  Hermana Cannon and I put in breakout rooms with each other for about an hour and a half straight each day and have a 30 minute companionship study, so times that by the 28 days we've been in the CCM and that puts us right at 56 hours! (My deepest apologies for all of that math) Y'all have the next 17 months to plan us the most epic wedding that Southern Utah has to offer. But serious...
