Mandy leaves for the MTC

The night before Mandy left, we had a yummy Asian dinner at at the Mandarin in Bountiful, Utah. Dad and Sean were back in Washington and had to miss out on all the fun.

Sisters!
Mom and Jamie celebrated Mandy's departure with a bowl of Roasted Nut Fudge ice cream from the BYU Creamery. We were actually just reaching for the comfort food after our loss of Mandy being gone.

Mandy's mission farewell

Mandy sure has lots of friends! This picture was taken after her talk in church.

Here is a picture of Mandy and her primary class that she team taught with mom. They all LOVED Mandy.

Sister Browning, our former Young Women's president, was so nice to throw Mandy a farewell dinner. She is one of the kindest women in the world!

One last hug! She will sure miss the boys!

What a surprise! Dallan H. Oaks was on Mandy's flight! He was so proud of his newest sister missionary.
