The day started off with a call from Missionary Travel in Salt Lake City saying that they had accidentally refunded Ryan's ticket. They rebooked him on a flight to Atlanta, instead of Dallas, that left an hour earlier. Then he was going to take a later flight to Sao Paulo. Luckily we were pretty much packed and had everything together.
These are a couple of quick pictures we took before we left for the airport. This is the Brazil flag.
This one is really light, but I had to take it quickly and didn't get a chance for another take. It seems like we packed a lot more stuff for Pehrson and Tyson when they left. Hope we didn't forget anything.
We get to the airport and Joel and Ryan go inside to get him checked in while Rachel and I go park the car. Joel isn't scowling. I just caught him by surprise.
Waiting in the airport to say goodbye.
Time to say goodbye.
He got to Atlanta as scheduled and gave us a call. There was another missionary and the Temple President and his wife from the Sao Paulo Brazil Temple on his flight to Brazil.
He called a little while later to say that the flight to Sao Paulo was delayed. Come to find out, they ended up delaying the flight until 8:00 am Wednesday, June 30. The airlines did give them a voucher for a hotel, but it was so late at night and since they would have to be back early in the morning, they all decided to just stay at the airport for the night.
He called in the morning saying that he didn't get much sleep but finally were boarding the plane. It left around 8:20 am, Wednesday morning.
What a day!!!!
