LEAVING ON A JET PLANE!!!

This is Ammon and his companion Elder Nate Jacobs giving us a final wave as they head off through the security line. 

Ammon's was so excited to go! 

Not a tear was shed ....by him. His last words to me were Mom you will be ok! I love you. Even as I write this I pray that is true. Still crying... So he is off and with him a huge chunk of my heart! 
      The Lord knows me so well. I am amazed at all the tender Mercys He has given to me. I was able to connect with Nate's mom on Facebook. We decided to get the boys together before the security line so they would know at least someone. They laughed and joked the whole way! It made my heart so happy that he wasn't on his own. They didn't sit together on the plane but when they arrived at the MTC they found out they were companions. So blessed to have met Ammon's first companion and his family.

This is a sister serving in Ammon's mission. He was so cute he wouldn't even look her in the eye! I said buddy it's ok she is a missionary to. As a missionary you are going to meet a lot of new people. Might as well start now.

Ammon arrived at the airport Wednesday at 8am to travel directly to the Mexico MTC. Definitely an emotional day for all of us! So glad we were packed days before because I know I couldn't remember my own name that morning because I was so emotional.
