What an AWESOME day!
We packed up the big green mormon wagon with as many family members as we could fit (who weren't working today) and made haste to the MTC.
We made one quick stop for family pics at the Provo temple. We got all our hugs and misty goodbyes taken care of and then loaded up for the short ride over to the MTC.
Sorry about the quality of the video clip (cell phone and nervous mom, it was the best I could do.)
On the way through the entrance, and past numerous Host greeters, we spotted Elder Peter Molnar, who was trying his hardest not to break decorum and run to catch up to us at our appointed #23 drop zone.
When the car finally stopped, Anziano Faggioli bailed out and was welcomed by his host first, and then a very excited Elder Molnar.    They were so happy to see each other it was really emotional for all of us.
It very much reminded me of when Alma meets his friends that he hasn't seen in years in Alma 17:2.
We did not stay long, as we could see Anziano Faggioli was eager to begin this new chapter of his life.
Tonight we are a little sad that we will not see him for 2 years, but very, very happy knowing he has chosen to make this commitment to serve a mission for the lord.
