No Turning Back Now

We are sitting in Heathrow Airport in London. All is going well with just a couple of bumps. We did have a delay in Salt Lake City because of bad weather in Chicago and then when we got to Chicago, they had to deal with all kinds of messes because of the weather so that cost us a few hours but we're here in London and our plane will not leave for about three hours, then we're off to South Africa.

The last few days in the MTC were as intense as the first days! Meetings, meetings, meetings--but they were all very inspirational and motivating.

It was good to talk to all you kids before we left. We met with Carol and Al for a few minutes and gave them the keys to the car and said good-bye.

Scott, please post this on the blog. The cell phone has been discontinued so we'll contact you whenever we can.

Love to all of you, Scott, Angela, Katy, and Savannah; Merilee, Steven, Christie, and Jordan (GRRRR); Julie, Matt, Claire, and Baby; Mike (sorry about Ohio State--again)

Love, MOM and DAD

It was really great to talk to both of you on Sunday night. You both sounded so excited to get on your way. It was great that you had so much energy after 8 hours of church! We look forward to talking to you after you finally get to the land way down under. By the way, how many air miles did you log? Were you able to sleep on the way?

It was good to talk to you! It made me laugh when dad said he was ready to leave the MTC and get out in the field...I think we all understand that feeling! Glad to hear that most of your flights have gone okay...hopefully by the time you get this you are in sunny South Africa!

Love,
Matt, Julie, Claire, and baby

It was great to talk to Mom and Dad. I remember when I was leaving, I too was ready to get out there and start working :) Look forward to hearing from you when you are in S. Africa!
