Farewell to Michael

Michael will speak Sunday in our Sacrament Meeting (it starts at 11:30), and we will then have dinner at our house (about 4:00). We were going to take him to the MTC, but received a letter telling us that there is no longer a meeting with the parents, and that the Elders could be dropped off at the curb, but no one other than the missionary could enter the building. This came about because of the occurrence of swine flu. No need to bring in hundreds of people who might pass around some illness causing the missionaries to get sick and have to delay their departure. Because of this info we decided it was a long and hard drive to drop someone off at the curb. We can go a bit beyond the curb at an airport, so we are taking him to the Pasco airport to catch a flight to Utah, 6:30 am Wednesday. He will get there so much faster that it sounded better to him. We only have a few days, it seems like only a few hours. I feel like I'm cramming for a test - I'm sure this is a test - and I hope I pass.
