Today Court is flying out to Tacoma. The missionaries that were leaving had to get up at 4:00 a.m. this morning to be ready to leave at 5:00.
However, they didn't leave until 6:00.
Court called about 7:20 this morning once they had checked their luggage and had everything ready to go.
He had asked Sarah to come to our house so he could talk to her. Apparently he hadn't received any of her letters and was feeling a little sad. I emailed her and told her he hadn't gotten any letters and she told me that she had put the wrong address on them. That was a relief for Court to hear.
I let Court and Sarah talk for awhile and then she had to go to school. It was so nice of her to come.
Boyd and I spoke with Court for another 30 minutes. It was so good to hear his voice. He sounded very tired, which he should be after waking up at 4:00.
He told us about the food at the MTC, the elders in his district and the new teaching program that his district was doing. He saw all the people in our ward who left for missions when he did or shortly after. He enjoyed his MTC experienc.
He also sounded ready to go to work. He is looking forward to meeting his mission president, having a good meal and meeting his trainer.
After speaking for 40 minutes he was ready to get off the phone. I guess that there is a tie store in the airport that is owned by a mormon who will sell ties to the elders for a few dollars. Court was anxious to go and get a tie or two before he left Utah.
It was great to talk to Court and know that he is doing good and ready to work.
p.s. I found two pieces of Court's dairy hoodie outside on the lawn this morning. Apparently they had fallen off when Court took the hoodie to the garbage. The dog was sniffing them and then backing away which made me go out and see what he was sniffing at and there they were!
