Elder Kaden Rogers: MTC - Bitter/Sweet and Awesome day! March 2, 2011

Time to say goodbye at the MTC! We are so happy for Kaden that we didn't plan to be sad, but as 1:00 came, and after taking pics and hanging out near the Provo Temple, we all broke down. Such a bitter sweet moment for each one of us. When we went to the drop off location curbside, our spot had to be one of the last drop offs allowing me (Mom) to see ALL the other missionaries saying goodbye to their crying mom's at the curbside. (Just my luck) So much for holding it together. People have since asked how we liked the curbside drop off, and I have to say, "Not too much." I suppose there's really no great or fun way to do it. It will be all we know. We are so proud of Kaden, and although we are going to miss him Dearly and think of him Daily we know we will all be richly blessed for his sacrifices and diligence in serving our beloved Savior for the next two years. We're excited for the MTC and the great people in Poland to meet and spend time with Kaden and his kind, excepting, and fun personality! He will be better, and stronger, and we will be better, and stronger because of him. We love you Kaden and plan to follow and support your great journey these next two years! This day was awesome because we could tell you were ready for it all to begin!
