Now, behold, a marvelous work is about to come forth among the children of men.

Elder Finkner left his home in Westminster, Maryland on Tuesday, September 29, 2015 to travel to the Missionary Training Center in Provo, Utah. We had a teary “good-bye” but we sent off a missionary that is excited to serve. He was picked up from the Salt Lake City airport by his Great-Grandfather and Great-Uncle. The three of them took some time to sightsee Salt Lake City and visit Temple Square. Later in the evening, Elder Finkner had the opportunity to meet his cousins while dining in Provo.

On the morning of Wednesday, September 30, 2015, he stopped by the Provo Center City Temple to take a few photos. After lunch, in the early afternoon, he reported to the Missionary Training Center. We are anxiously awaiting his first email from the mission field.
