I got Elder Payne on the plane this morning. I was so composed that it surprised me. I know it will hit me sometime later as I wash the clothes he left behind. Or, maybe, it will hit me right now as I write this blog.... Oh Boy!! Here we go! :'(
Zac reports today to the Provo Mission Training Center. He will be in Provo until August 1st. He is learning to be a missionary and also learning to communicate in Spanish.
I want to post all of his letters home-- I want him to do the talking on this blog, not me. I don't know when I will hear from him, so just stay tuned! In the meantime, maybe you could write to him!! See the sidebar for addresses. He said he would love photos of home!!!!

One thing we talked about as we were waiting in the airport was if we could think what was happening 2 years ago.... It was the dedication of the Gila Valley Temple and Zac got to be in the Cultural Celebration!! That was such a memorable event for him. He told me, "You know that seems just like yesterday... Mom, two years won't be that long!"
