After all the months of preparation, including weekly 'Mission Prep Fridays,' Hollee was ready to go! We had the skirts, tops, dresses, cardigans, shoes, books and luggage. On May 2, 2017, we had a family dinner and one last lawn game before going over to the church for Hollee to be set apart. President John Monson, Hollee's best friend's father, would be the one to set her apart because he was newly called as our Stake President. Great Grandma Donna Marsden was there, along with Grandma and Grandpa Nordhoff, Heidee, Jonathan, Allison and Mom and Dad. The grandparents were each asked to offer Hollee some advice and love, followed by the same from Mom and Dad. It was a very tender time for Hollee and our family. Hollee was given a beautiful blessing, and she officially became Sister Hollee Talbot!

On Wednesday, May 3, 2017 we finished packing and loaded everything into the car. We went to Trellis Cafe at Thanksgiving Point for brunch before taking a quick trip to Provo City Center Temple for some pictures. Then it was off to the MTC for a quick family picture, some tender hugs and goodbyes.
And there she goes!
God be with you till we meet again!
