| Getting set apart as Sister Gonzalez |
On Wednesday morning we all helped Sister Gonzalez get her things all packed up in the car and ready
to go. She was absolutely radiant with happiness and excitement!
Before officially sending her off at the MTC we stopped by our favorite bubble tea shop to have one last smoothie with her!
It was a teary goodbye on our end, but she was absolutely shining with joy and excitement.
We've never seen her look more beautiful! The Spirit of the Lord was definitely with her!

She had an army of missionaries present to greet her and show her around!
It was so incredible to see all of the missionaries! It was definitely an impressive sight to see!

We got our first email from Allissa a couple of days ago. She sounds safe and happy! Here is an excerpt from her letters.
"Dad, you were right about the missionaries telling tall tails! One of the Elders was going on and
on about Kangaroos, but it was pretty funny and all I
could think was, Dad was right! I have been talking to the other
missionaries a lot which is good practice to talk to strangers! Everyone
is so nice here I love it! Do you know how you guys tell me I am a
gringa? Well, being here with my district that is international has
made me feel too white washed! #utah #Idontlikeit ;) The food is 19 year
old boy food so it gets old fast! They have dessert here every meal, it so hard not
to eat it, but I have been good so far. It helps that my companion
doesn't eat a lot so since I don't want to look like a little piggy I don't
eat too much either, which is good! We have a great
zone, most of the international missionaries are converts, or their
parents are, so they have so much faith! One Elder Williams form Ghana is a recent convert and he knows so much about the gospel and has such a
strong testimony it's amazing. Oh, I accidentally made one of my undershirts green because I put it
in with the colors and I thought it would be ok, but it wasn't. I am so
scared to fall off the beds here since they are tiny! Luckily I sleep on
the bottom bunck so if I did fall it wouldn't hurt so much!
I love you guys and I
realize more and more how blessed I am to have you guys and to have
grown up in the church and that Dad served a mission.
I Love you so very much!
Love, Sister Gonzalez
P.S. its crazy how quickly you get used to being called sister"
