Tess begins her mission

Tess holding up her mission call.  We forgot to do that the day she opened it.  "Better late than never," I always say.
We took this picture right before the Stake Presidency arrived to set Tess apart as an official missionary.
We took them beforehand just in case things became a little emotional.  Yes, we have done this twice before!
Grandma and Grandpa are always so great to support our family.
Tess ready to get in the car and head to the MTC.  We all said goodbye at the house and just Alan took her and dropped her off.  It was much easier that way than all of us saying goodbye at the MTC the way they used to do it with families.
