And he's off!!!

On July 9, 2014 Elder Daniel Nelson entered the Missionary Training Center (MTC) in Provo, UT.  His mom, dad, sister Diana and brother in law Jake were able to take him there and see him off!! 

While in the MTC, Dan wrote the following:

"...  Having a blast, everyone is so cool.  My comp is Elder Pottel... he's awesome!!! We are zone leaders and are slaying it!!! Anyways love you.  Can't wait to call you on Monday before we get on the plane!!"

Just before leaving the MTC, Dan and his companion were introduced in Sacrament as the zone leaders for the 24 missionaries going to Charlotte!  Pretty awesome! 

This morning at 5:30am he called his parents while at the airport ready to fly to NC!  He said that he felt well trained and excited and eager to get out into the mission field!  He sounded healthy and happy so we are looking forward to getting his first letter from the field!

Go get 'em Elder Nelson!!
