to Italy!

This morning I awoke to one of the sweetest sounds I can imagine. This boy's voice:

Leaving the MTC at 4 a.m., he called from the Salt Lake Airport and is flying to Chicago, Frankfurt and finally Milan. If you read his last letter, you can imagine his tone--- giddy, happy, so very excited.

Me too. He's calling again from Chicago.

I just noticed a huge grin on my face while reading this. I'm thrilled for you! Counting the minutes until you hear his voice from Chicago.

Love you!

Oh I love you. I hope he spoke some brilliant Italian to you. What a beautiful way to wake-up.

I'm so glad to see the link to Ben's mission blog! I don't know if I missed it before, but I look forward to keeping tabs on him.

I remember! You are probably talking to him now. Have a wonderful day! I hope the smile stays there for days!

I can't believe he is already past the MTC stage. How wonderful to hear his voice again. I just know he will be this incredible force for good out in Italy. So excited for the next chapter in his missionary journey.(And hopefully with a "cooler" companion;))
