well i just got back from dropping off my parents at the MTC! we took the classic pictures by the Provo temple and then drove them in. Turns out the people there are amazing and memorize all the mission presidents' faces. We pulled into the MTC and the man said "Welcome President and Sister Gibbons!" He then asked how they felt about the recent call change to Russia (by the way, I don't think I ever blogged about that. My parents' call was changed from the Arkansas Little Rock Mission to the Russia Novosibirsk Mission!! A big surprise that feels really right!). Everyone was so kind. Luckily we will still see them a few more times before they ship off to Siberia, so this morning was more fun than sad. They will be there for 5 days, come home for a couple, then return for a few weeks to learn Russian while they wait for visas. Here are some pics from the day!
GRRRR it's not letting me add pictures...weird...i will have to try again later!

Liz! I'm so glad things seem to be going so well since you've come home from your mission. I'm also so excited for your parents! My husband's aunt and uncle are serving in Novosibirsk right now, so your dad will be their mission president! We are actually trying to plan a trip out there next year to visit them, so we maybe we can see your parents too! :) Congrats on your PHD program. That is so exciting!
Love,
Sara (Astle) Carruth
