    We talked to Benji on Pday! He is on the mission. He is in the MTC. He has a companion – Elder Drussel. He is in a district. It’s all happening.

    Benji’s spots! Empty spots. Reminders of him. I hope he gets to Mexico safely! Later that night the youth all went to the Orem Temple Open House! And then we stopped by to tell Lalo goodbye – he goes to Provo MTC tomorrow.

    Goodbye’s Are REALLY Hard

    We got to the airport at 5am. We all went in and gave our last hugs and goodbye’s. He is off to the Mexico MTC!!

    Airport:

    We sent him off and then waited on the other end for him to get through security. Good Luck Elder. Be safe. Have Fun. Be friendly. Be kind to everyone. Share your love. Share your testimony. Be ready for hard. Be ready to work. Remember to pray…. he took a piece of our hearts with him.

    Can’t wait to hug you in 2 years!

    And then we all went home and back to school and work and tried to pretend that it was all good!

    On Monday Benji and I did some last minute shopping for a sweater and a ukulele. Haystacks for dinner and Pete and Michelle’s families and grandma and grandpa stopped by to say goodbye!
