Sister Diana Brown entered the Missionary Training Center in Provo, Utah on Thursday, July 5, 2012. Before entering the MTC she and her family had lunch at SLAB pizza, also in Provo. Policy changes don't allow families to say goodbye at the MTC anymore so Diana said her goodbyes at the pizza parlor.
