 Hermana Autumn Twitchell  --  Hermana Kaaa  (from Hawaii)

Flight to Dallas

Hermana Twitchell and Avram's flight to Dallas

Hermana Twitchell and Avram got to eat lunch together and then had to say Good-bye

Hermana Twitchell doesn't look too sad about leaving the family.  She is so excited which is how it should be.

I came home and was pretty sad, I watched for planes to fly over.  I’m excited for my children but sad for me.  Avram texted me a picture at 10:00 am they were eating breakfast together at Dallas, where they had to part ways.  It was fun to see them and I got to talk to Autumn so that was a lot of fun.  She is pretty excited.  Then they flew off to Mexico MTC and Washington DC.

Hermana Twitchell  --  Mom -- Avram time to say Good-bye

Elaina gave Autumn a heart ring to always wear to remember Elaina.

We got up at 2:45 am.  Avram and Autumn got up and finished getting ready.  Autumn was a bit slow so were didn’t leave at 3:30 am we left at 4:00 am but it all worked out.  When we got to the airport it was full of missionaries so that was exciting.  We met a missionary going to Sacramento too so that as nice of course all of them were going to the Mexico MTC.  Autumn was pretty excited and so was Avram.  They didn’t cry and surprisingly I didn’t cry until they left.  How can I be sad when they are so excited and didn’t I spend the last 31 years preparing my children to go on missions and go to college so they are just fulfilling a dream I had for them and what I had trained them to set as goals.  I’m so proud of them both.  It was such a comfort to me to know that they were together, it was hard to say good-bye.  We left them about 5:15 am.
