Alicia at the MTC

Sorella Jenkins reported to the MTC July 15. She has been there for half a month!

This is the family dropping Sorella Jenkins off at the MTC. We were all very sad to see her go, but very happy and excited for this exciting time of her life.

Sorella Jenkins at the MTC

We ate breakfast at Mimi's Cafe in Provo. It was delicious! Oddly enough we met one of Sorella Jenkins MTC companions there before we dropped her off! Another girl sitting right behind us was going to the MTC and was called to serve in Catania Italy as well! It was crazy. Later we found out they were companions, crazy!

Sorella Jenkins has written a few letters to family. She is learning the language, but her German and Portuguese background "keep getting in the way". She is very busy, but we all know Alicia...she is thriving in this environment!

"Farewell" Party

I will be posting periodically for Alicia, Sorella Jenkins, while she is on her mission. Alicia was called to the Italy Catania Mission. She reported to the MTC July 15!

Alicia had her farewell get-together a few weeks ago. There was an abundance of delicious food.

We had a pillowcase that everyone signed, kind of like a year book. People wrote advice, funny sayings, and kind words.

What a beautiful sister missionary!
