What a great couple of days! Lots of tears, hugs, and laughter from all those that love him because we will all miss him so much! But we also got to see him set apart as a missionary which was amazing. We took one more set of photos at the Provo City Center Temple, ate some delicious pizza, and then dropped him off at the Missionary Training Center in Provo this afternoon. The missionaries that greet you all stand on the curb as you're pulling in. They smile and wave and make it a point to be excited which was so sweet. After going through a few more tissues on the ride home we were so excited to get an email after only an hour of dropping him off. From here on out, I will keep my comments brief so you can mostly here from Elder Gray about his life as a missionary. Thanks for the love everyone. We have felt it and are so grateful :)

From Elder Gray:
I made it in and everything is great, I already met my companion. His name is Elder Durrett and he's from Texas. He's really cool. After moving around a lot and seeing everything I finally sat down and then I got to come here to send a quick email. I found my room thanks to my MTC host and now I'm just about to get back to class. It all moved really fast. I barely put my luggage in the room before I ran off to class. My room is on the highest floor and I found out my bag is very heavy.
I love all of you.
