Well today was the day, Elder Adamson entered the MTC about 12:45pm. For Dad it was hard to leave him, yet he was very happy knowing Ryan is embarking on the Lord's errand.

He and Dad accomplished Ryan's goal of going to 10 temples before he entered the mission field. They went to Logan, Ogden and Bountiful temples on Friday, September 18th and went to Uncle Craig's and Aunt MaryAnn's home to stay until he went into the mission home.

On Saturday they went to the Salt Lake, Jordan River and Oquirrh Mountain Temples. He had a wonderful visit with Joe, Codi, Ethan and Cole; and Robert, Liz, Emma and Kaylie.

On Tuesday they finished visiting all the temples on the way visiting the Draper, Mt. Timpanogous and Provo Temples.

Just to let everyone know this is Elder Adamson's Mom. We set up this blog to follow Ryan's mission and to post his missionary moments for all to read. He was set apart on September 15, 2009 by our stake president, President Brian Pitcher. Our Bishop, Bishop Blake Ballif was with him. The next morning, he and his Dad (his companion until he enters the MTC on Wednesday morning September 23rd) embarked on the trip to the MTC. They began by driving to Boise, Idaho. Elder Adamson's sister, Tiffany, lives there. They visited with her family. Tiffany made his favorite dessert, chocolate cake with chocolate icing, an early birthday cake for his 19th birthday, September 22. Scott, Tiffany, Elder Adamson and Dad went to the Boise Temple. His plan is to visit all the temples on the way to the MTC and get one last BYU game in before he leaves. Uncle Craig and Aunt MaryAnn were able to get some tickets to the BYU vs. Florida State game. His first P-day activity!
