This past Sunday, on St. Patrick's Day, Zach gave his farewell talk in church. I went to my friend, Tessa's mission homecoming to hear her speak that morning at her ward in Orem and then rushed bac to Provo to pick up Rick, Kimbri, and Garrett and we all headed down to Spanish Fork to my parents ward by 11am. Zach did a great job and we had a little get together at my parents house after church with a bunch of family and friends.
Today was the day Zach left on his mission. He is supposed to report to the MTC in Africa on Thursday but to get there on time he had to leave today, on a Tuesday. I think they said it will be about 22 hours of flying and a total of 27 hours to get there when you include layovers, etc... Anyway, so we all went to the airport today to drop him off! And he is now on his way to Africa. He'll be stopping in Chicago and London before actually getting there though.
I had to take a picture of Kimbri with Zach before he left so we could print is out and put it in her room or something so she can remember him. Zach is always so cute with Kimbri and always would take her outside or just pick her up and hold and play with her. I can't believe that Kimbri will be 3 years old, almost 4, when Zach gets home! And Garrett will be Kimbri's age! Wow.
