Elder Livingstone is the youngest of eight children, so his (our) family is quite large. Here is just a portion of our family. From left to right, top to bottom--Jayson, Tricia, Sara, Shannon, Jake, Amy, Elder Livingstone, Josh, Kirk, Mae, Heidi (me), and Mom (Sister Livingstone).
Yes, that is Elder Livingstone's mom in the picture. And yes, Elder Livingstone's mom is currently a missionary in the Democratic Republic of Congo. She received extra special permission to be here to take Elder Livingstone to the MTC. It was so wonderful to have her here.
Here is Elder Livingstone with his mom and his second Mom, Sister Christensen. Sister Christensen's son Ben lived with Elder Livingstone for his last two years of high school and is one of his best friends. Ben is currently serving in the Chile Santiago North Mission.
The big moment--Elder Livingstone gets his name tag. And, the dot.
Two tags. Two missionaries.
Then we went to a large chapel, heard a few instructions, watched a movie made in 1981 (it's a classic), and said goodbye. Elder Livingstone was so excited, I don't think he cried at all.
He's going to do amazing things.
Here's where to write him--

In the future, the posts here will be written by Elder Livingstone. I hear they have email now in the MTC, so look for a post in a few days.
Until then, send Elder Livingstone a letter. Or why not, a care package (he loves homemade oreos, dr. pepper, banana cream pie, frozen snickers, and of course J Dawgs).

Drew! Nancy and I were psyched to see you and only wish we could have been there to watch "Called to Serve" in the MTC with you! We love you!
