It finally arrived! She entered the MTC today. HORRAY! We are so proud of Beth and
know that she will be an amazing missionary! Today she begins the greatest adventure of
her life so far!
We have loved having Beth live with us for the past few months. She has been a sister,
and a great friend to The Darlings. We shared alot of laughs and alot of tears. She was
a blessing to our family. She is ready to begin this next chapter of her life. And it will
be a good one!
The Stake President (aka The Farmer) and his counselors came to our house to share
things we love about Beth, and then The Stake President gave her a beautiful blessing
assuring her that this will be a great experience for her. It was especially great to have
him set her apart. Our brothers and parents were able to participate in this great
experience through a conference call (thanks Matt!). It was a special experience. Monday
morning we left for El Paso and put her on a plane to Salt Lake City where our parents
picked her up.
PreShie will miss her "sister" I think more than all of us combined! They have shared
alot in the last few months. Beth has set a great example for all of us, and for that
we are very grateful!
