Elder Canyon Atwood

Wednesday, September 24, 2014

It was an emotional morning today as we sent off our first missionary. 
We dropped Canyon off at 6:00 am departing from the Midland airport. The airline workers were so helpful getting Canyon checked in, took pictures of our family,and tried to comfort me as they could tell I was having a hard time.
Canyon flew into the Houston Airport and called me from a payphone there.  He was a little teary and told me how much he loved me.  So sweet!!  About and hour later my phone beeped and I looked down to see a picture of Canyon with a few other missionaries. A dad had taken the photo and texted it to all the moms. It felt like Christmas to see this photo with Canyon and the other missionaries.  We are so proud of Canyon and excited for him to share the gospel in Lima, Peru North.
He then caught a plane to Mexico City and will spend the next 6 weeks in the MTC.
Saying goodbye to Elder Atwood from the Midland, Texas Airport. It was a teary morning.
