Ready...Set...Go!

He's off...! We took him to the airport this morning. We were told that if we asked the right person they would give us security passes so we could wait at the gate with him. While we were waiting in line I observed all the agents at the counter and then when we got to the front I asked the friendliest and most helpful agent. He gave me a look like I was crazy and then smiled and said softly, "Sure, just let me see your photo ID." So Kerry and I both got to go through security and wait with him at the gate.

There were two other missionaries on his flight. One was going to Minneapolis and the other was actually going to Mexico Leon! Imagine that! I think they were both excited to talk to each other. I imagine they will be together through their whole MTC experience. Jay called about 10:00 to say they were in SLC and just waiting for the shuttle. I expect to hear from him any time now to tell me he made it to the MTC just fine.

Bye Jay! We love you and miss you already!
