Elder Flake has safely entered the MTC!

Yesterday afternoon he safely landed in Utah and, having lots of time to spare, he went to the Salt Lake City temple with Monte and Elona Shelley, who were gracious enough to let Elder Flake stay with them for the night. Earlier today the Shelley's had the opportunity to take Elder Flake to the Missionary Training Center. There he found out he would be sleeping at the new MTC near the BYU campus and would take a bus to the original MTC for classes.

Jordan is now Elder Flake...




 

The family outside the stake center right after Jordan was set apart as a missionary.
He is now officially Elder Flake!




We at least know that his flight is complete and he made it to Salt Lake City. He is planning to go to the Salt Lake Temple today and stay with a cousin that lives by the MTC.

Come back soon, we will have more to share as soon as we hear from him!
