Day - 4: Last chance to pack. Feeling frantic. Mom's are the best. Sleeping with doggies. Kiva tries to climb in the suitcase too.
Day -3: Farewell talk at church. Grandparents came. Set apart as missionary. Lots of tears. Good tears.
Day -2: Say goodbye to Fajah--my Dad. Fly to Utah. Visited with Grandparents and Atkins. Haley taught me "Christlike love and service."
Day -1: Session at South Jordan Temple with Mom and Alex. Off to Provo to visit with dear friends and for "Last Supper".
