"Well, Im on an airplane headed to Brazil. Today was a great day. I woke up, read my newspaper and ate breakfast. Then I went and played basketball with the little boys. After that I took the boys to DeSoto and went to the pond. Then we headed to downtown Dallas. We went to the West End and spent $20 on video games in the arcade. Then I came home at 3:00, I started making sure I had everything. We took pictures of all the boys and Dad with our shirts off. It was a lot of fun. My mom bought me some Promised Land Chocolate Milk. Yum! Last night I did Family Home Evening and it was really great. Everyone said a reason why they were gonna miss me and I gave them all pieces of advice. Robin had a soccer game and she couldn't come to the airport to see me off. She hugged me for 2 minutes and she cried. I was glad to know that she was gonna miss me."
I remember just wanting to go back to the old stomping grounds with the little boys. It was a very surreal day. The most memorable part of the day was when Robin hugged me goodbye. Me and her always were very close and I looked out for her in high school.
We recorded me leaving and I remember watching my Mom and Dad walk away hand in hand. No tears were shed but they said afterwards that they got a little teary eyed. I remember that I was the last one of our group to the Dallas airport. I showed up like 15 minutes before the plane was leaving. Everybody else had already flown from other places in the country to Dallas. The Elders were friendly with me and we sat together and took off. I slept a good amount of the way. It was so crazy to think that I would not see my family for another two years. I was on my way, no turning back!
