Off you Go!!


Hey Elder!!
Wow! I really thought it would take a while, but here you go!! I'm so excited for you. So give me all the details...What airline are you flying,,,what is the flight number,,, when do you leave...how early do you have to be at the airport??? What time do you expect to arrive in Mexico?? I hope your bags aren't too heavy!! And I hope you (or your mission president) calls when you get to your first area. We'll need to know your address..your new companion...etc..I still can't believe the time is finally here! NOW the work will really begin!
So did the rest of the missionaries get the visas they were waiting for? I hope they are all as excited as you are. Do you still need to send a package home? Do you need anything before you leave to take down there? Were you able to get the songs you wanted on your ipod?
I'm going to keep this short, so you can email everyone else. I'm anxious to talk to you tomorrow!!! Have fun getting ready to go! I'm sure you'll have a busy day. Love you lots! Mom

(yeah its a prop plane, soo excited!! :) we leave slc at 6 so i have to be at the travel place here at the mtc at 3 in the morning. i will be landing in texas around 10 ish and leaving around 12 40. my bags are already packed :) and they weigh like 48 1/2 pounds!! two elders in my district are still waiting for thier visa's but they don't mind they were actually excited to stay here to learn more spanish.... i'm actually kinda scared to go now i just remembered that thats all i'll be speaking now!! i dunno if i get to call you when i get to mexico or not but i'll talk to my mission president when he picks us up k? i'll either send you a letter once i get there to give you my new address or if i get to call you i'll do that instead :) i sent you a package of stuff that i didn't needd to take to mexico with me. sorry this letter is not very good i'm in a hurry i have 5 minutes left. i got all the songs on my pod and thanks!! i love you and can't wait to talk to you tomorrow!! i'll call at 5 ish and then i'll call again in texas!!
