Finally...On my way to Chile!

We were so lucky! At lunch today we got to talk to Jaren while he waited for his plane at the Salt Lake Airport. It was wonderful. Funny thing...he hasn't changed, he sounds just like Jaren. He loved being out in the world again. He said his last night in the MTC was just like Christmas Eve. They even got up early (4:30am) to drop his companion Elder Sorenson off at the travel office. At the airport he bought a slice of Pizza at Sbarro...he said "it was like Heaven to eat real food again".
We get one more chance to talk to him tonite while he's in the Atlanta airport on a layover. He'll travel through the night tonight and arrive in Santiago at 8:30am in the morning. Then the real fun (hard work) begins.
Thank you for all of your support and letters to him in the MTC. Check on the side of the blog under his picture for how to send him letters FREE to CHILE on dearelder.com
