Tanner was set apart as Elder Christensen on June 22 and left Hong Kong for the Missionary Training Center the following day. It was a joyful farewell. Once in UT his brother Matt picked him up and the two of them took care of last minute items that Elder Christensen needed. Wednesday he went into the MTC and sent a letter home the following Monday. He is having a wonderful time learning Mandarin Chinese and how to teach people about the doctrines of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He will be gone for two years serving in Carlsbad CA mission teaching the Mandarin speaking Chinese people. We miss Elder Christensen but are thrilled that he is part of a great and marvelous work.
