Off to Alaska

Well, he's off. And we got to talk to Elder Dan for about 10.35 minutes. He first called @ 6:40 am and then his calling card stopped working. We got to say, Hello, how are you.........

He called back about a half hour later. He said his card didn't work and some really nice lady in the airport took pity on him and let him use her cell phone to call home. So he didn't want to talk long. He sounds good. He says the MTC food did bad things to his stomach.......He's excited to go. His plane was delayed so he will be running from one plane to the next in Seattle to be on time to catch his flight to Anchorage. He says he is very tired and he said he was very hungry. (I think he was anxious to go get some "real food.") He sounds more grown up and confident. He's going with a group of 10 missionaries. We told him everyone said "hello."

And that's about it. Until Christmas.

Give 'em heaven, Bubba D.

That is kind of funny he was so hungry. I don't think that hunger will be satisfied on the plane.:-) Best of luck to him on his mission.
