We woke up early on the 28th to take Elder Stradling to the airport he had a 7:30am flight. We saw many other missionaries leaving on the same flight, some families were crying others looked like they had done this a million times and acted like it was no big deal. We started out fine but when we started saying our final goodbyes and hugs, we all lost it!! Especially Mel,Rance & Cam. We didnt think we would all ball like babies...boy were we wrong! Zach even had tears running down his face,I don't know when the last time I saw that happen!! We are so proud of our Missionary!!! And we know he will be an Amazing Missionary!!
