Missionary Training Center - Provo, Utah

Jake checking in at the MTC. This is where he was given his name tag...

and his "dork dot". Exciting time!

Mom, Dad, and Jake at the MTC. I think this is a neat picture because now Jake truly is in the Lord's hands... and it is almost as if my parents are turning Jake over to Christ's open arms.

Here we all are, before the tears :) Notice that Jake is giving the "Slater gang sign" in this photo. Ha ha! Every thing went as well as can be expected at the MTC. Jake held tough and practiced the "band aid Method" (faster=easier) when he said goodbye to us all. He was the first missionary out of there. He just gave us all a quick hug and out he went, with his head held high. What a guy... We love you Jake!!! Good Luck!

Officially a Missionary

Tonight Jake got set apart as a missionary! It's official now. It was a great setting apart by the 1st counselor in the stake Presidency, Pres. Prows. They also just spent some time talking with him about what kind of missionary he is capable of being. Jake is amazing! And tomorrow he enters the MTC... where this new journey will begin.

Brent and Margaret Slater Family at the Temple

What an awesome thing to have all my parents children in the temple together.

It is a credit to them, and so neat for all of us!
