And ye shall go forth in the power of my Spirit, preaching my gospel, two by two, in my name, lifting up your voices as with the sound of a trump, declaring my word like unto angels of God.
~Doctrine and Covenants 42:6
Sister Kersey Davis!
Hello everyone! This is Kersey's sister, Kirby. I've been assigned the job of posting Sister Kersey's emails and pictures here on this blog. On Wednesday, as a family, we were able to wake up and have a delicious breakfast together before we drove 70 miles to Provo to drop Kersey off at the Missionary Training Center.
Before we dropped her off though, we were able to go and walk around the Provo temple grounds. There were a lot of pretty pink flowers and lots of excited missionaries-to-be walking around and taking pictures. Then we stopped at Ono Shaved Ice for some snowcones.
Kersey was so excited! We drove up to the bustling MTC and were all shocked at the vast number of young men and women with name tags around the place. When we pulled up to the drop-off curb, we were immediatly greeted by Kersey's escort, Hermana Moss, while some male missionaries quickly unloaded Kersey's large pile of luggage. Some quick hugs were given, lots of tears were shed, and then Kersey walked away with her fellow missionaries. It all happened so fast!
I'm not too sad or worried about my sister though, when I was looking around the MTC grounds I couldn't help but notice how completely and blissfully happy everyone there was. It was like every single one of those missionaries knew that they were having the best time of their lives. They knew that they were exactly where they were supposed to be. And I know that if Kersey doesn't already feel this way, that she will be feeling it very soon.
So here are some pictures from the day.
Oh, and p.s. we asked some sister missionaries how many missionaries they expected to get this week and they told us that last week alone they had gotten 940 missionaries. 940! In one week! How AMAZING is that?!
*We've gotten our first letter from Sister Davis. She said that she was way nervous but right after she walked into the MTC and got her name tag she ran into Sister Bailey Lubeck. They hugged and cried for a while (until people started to stare) and after that she felt fine. Her companion is Sister Heagy from Farmington. Kersey leaves the MTC on June 24th.
