She's on her way! After a very busy day Monday spent prepping clothes, packing, making a few final hair bows and spending time with friends and family, Elena was set apart as a missionary by Pres. Harry Maxwell. She was also able to spend some quiet quality time with her sister in Arizona via Skype to say final goodbyes and to get some great missionary advice.
We got her to the airport as planned. Elena was confident and just a little nervous but smiling and ready to go! Her dad refused to worry about blocking the way for other passengers to get to security :) He had to see his princess until she made that final descent down the escalator with a big Elena smile and a wave goodbye!!
