Today Austin entered the MTC. What a strange flurry of emotions for parents (and I'm sure for him too!) We are so proud of him and excited for this much anticipated experience to begin! We will keep his blog updated as we get letters...
I (his mom) will try to keep my commentary to a minimum :) Thanks so much to everyone for their love, support, and prayers for Austin.

"Oh!!! You lucky, lucky missionary!" said this cute sister as we
dropped Austin off. She and her husband served in Cambodia 8
years ago and said they loved it so much, they didn't want to
come home! |

| Hugs all around... |

| Goodbye Elder Steadman... we love you! |
And so the journey begins. I'm glad you have that hard day behind you. Yeah Elder Steadman! We are so thrilled for you! Hugs.
