Into the MTC - a week early

Matt went into the MTC a week early - it was that or a month or more later, due to visas and travel plans, etc. So he went in on August 27, 2008. Mom and Dad and Becky went with him to the MTC to say goodbye, and Erick, Megan and Lily, and Kenny met them before they left CA. Shannon and Matt had travel plans all ready to see Matty for his original date - over Labor Day weekend, but weren't able to change plans with such short notice so they missed his departure. The recent family reunion in Idaho would have to be enough for the next 2 years.
Here are some pics of the day at the MTC:
