(This post is not a letter from Raquel, but an entry written by her father.)

We dropped Raquel off at the MTC in Provo, Utah, today at about 12:30. As a family, we had parked the car in the lower parking lot of the Provo Temple -- took some pictures, shed some tears, and then said our "Goodbyes". We then got back in the car, drove across the street, and dropped her off, where she was greeted by a Sister missionary who was preparing to serve a mission in Japan.

Anyway -- here are some pictures that we took today. Let the adventure begin!
