Josh left for Utah on Monday April 16th 2012.  He spent his last couple of days as a 'free man' with his Utah family! :)  Grandma and Grandpa took him to the Provo MTC on April 18th.  They said everything went really well.  We spoke to Josh while he was traveling to Provo and he said he wasn't really nervous but very excited.  Grandma said he looked relaxed and happy when he entered the MTC.  We are so excited for Josh and we can't wait to hear all about his first companion and his first experiences as a full time missionary.  Hopefully Josh's companion likes soccer!!  I suppose we should start calling Josh Elder Smith :)  That has a lovely ring to it!  We will try and remember that from here on out.  We have pictures of Elder Smith's departure, setting apart as a missionary and of his first experience going to the temple.  These will be posted shortly.  We are thrilled that Josh has decided to serve a mission and we know he will do a great job serving the people of El Salvador and Belize.  Heavenly Father has already blessed our family so much and for this we are truly grateful!  Go get um Josh ( whoops! We mean Elder Smith).
