Leaving home for the MTC...

 The McNews brought Sister Jen a very cute backpack...so nice of them!

Saying good-bye to three boys...

 Modeling her new water-proof, super warm, hooded, coat with the zip-out lining, inside cuffs, and  lots of pockets!  A gift from her parents and her three brothers.  Should do the trick in cold Japan winters!

Yes, this pic is displayed and will remain in view for eighteen months. :) 

She will miss you, Grandma Jan...

The neighborhood turned out to say good-bye...

Stop at the Wilkensen Center for some items...

 Jen just had to stop by her former office where she volunteered for two semesters while attending BYU.  Perfect caption!!!
