Brittany

Hello Everyone,

For those of you who are interested in writing or keeping up with what's going on with Britt, follow this link: http://hermanamorrill.blogspot.com.

The fastest way to get her a letter while she is in the MTC is through www.dearelder.com. On the link to the left under "send stuff" click on "Provo MTC". Then just fill in your information, and hers. Her box number again is 92. Estimated departure date is 2/9/2010. Then just write and send. She will get it same day if you write in the morning....by noon the next day otherwise. I also have her email address now but she only gets to check it once a week. It's hermanamorrill@myldsmail.net. Feel free to write her there as well. This will my last post to my blog for Britt so be sure to bookmark the link to her blog for updates on her mission!

Day One

Today was a bitter sweet day. Bitter to know I will not get to see her for the next 18 months, or call her, or talk to her, or enjoy her presence in my house. Sweet knowing she is doing something she really wants to do, and the Lord is looking out for her. It was so hard to leave her at the curb. Do you know how much I wanted to go with her? I am a bit jealous of the things I know she is giong to experience over the next year and a half. All of you who know her as I do have no doubt she will be an awesome missionary. The past 4 months having her home, if you can call it that since she spends more time out with her friends, or volunteering in Mexico, has been a wonderful growing experience for both of us. I am privileged to call her my daughter. Good grief I love this kid!

Farewell Britt!

Brittany's farewell was last Sunday. She had 76 RSVP's on Facebook which got me a little panicked as most of that number did not include our family. We may have gone just a little overboard on the food, but it sure was good. Better to have too much than not enough. :) Our families are amazing when it comes to things like this. Everyone was so happy to help and it was greatly appreciated! She had many, many friends who came out to send her off. Even though we are sure going to miss her, we are so proud, excited, and happy for her!

Hey, you gotta eat somewhere!
I know she introduced me and I'm pretty sure she really likes the guy on the left, but I can't remember their names! LOL
