My carry-ons And so it begins! After getting rid of a bunch of cra...I mean stuff, we are on our way. First stop is Salt Lake City, where bought a new suitcase. The drama that is luggage: When you travel international you can check two suitcases for free. Richard packed a regular size suitcase and one carry-on size to check. I, of course packed two regular size suitcases. The night before we left we weighed mine. One over, one slightly under. Shuffle weigh, shuffle weigh, shuffle weigh, at least three times, probably more like four or five. We finally got the weight right. Or so we thought.

You can see the beautiful stained glass. Close up of the stained glass. Pictures don't do it justice. T...
Ciao! Friends, Family and those that might stumble on this blog! Most of you know that we got our Mission call. We received it on Tuesday, July 16th. I woke up that day with a tremendous headache, so I was still in bed. Richard came to me and said "I don't know if you want to look now, but our call is in." Well, let me tell you, I WANTED to. We sat down on the couch together and he read it. It said: Dear Sister May: You are hereby called to serve as a missionary of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
