I had so much anxiety and emotion on Tuesday, October 20. It was the day James was flying to Paraguay. We didn't know what time his flight was, so I watched his location all day. I had clinical, so that helped keep me busy, but I was very emotional during lunch. It was one month since my mom passed. I felt so nervous about James leaving the safety and routine of the MTC for Paraguay, without the security and comfort of the MTC.
This is the picture of talking to James on his last P-day in the MTC.
His flight wasn't until late that night. He had a red eye to Paraguay and got there Wednesday morning. He got to call us quickly and let us know he made it to the mission home safely. That was such a relief!
He got to see his friend Junior, who he played soccer with. Junior's mom has been awesome and so helpful as we prepared to send James out. We were hoping Junior would be his trainer, but it didn't happen. Oh well, at least they got to see each other.
It's good to see that James's luggage situation worked out.
These pictures were posted on the mission's Facebook page. They made me so happy!
James met his trainer, Elder Romero. He is from Peru. They get along great.
This picture is out order but it's too tricky to change it.
They took them from the airport to a garden in Asuncion where President Kimball dedicated Paraguay for missionary work. So cool!
James looks so grown up!
