Heather's Departure from the MTC

We got a phone call from Heather when she got to the SLC Airport on Monday March 21, 2011. We talked for a long time and it was great to hear her voice and to talk to her, but very hard to hang up the phone. I can't wait for Mother's Day to get here! She was happy but sad to leave the MTC. She loved the spirit she felt there but the classroom time was tough for her. It was very hard on her back, sitting for many hours a day! She was also terrified to get out in the mission field, she is hoping for a wonderful companion that will help her learn more. Her Dad told her that she would be great! I told her that she was going to a warmer climate!! I also agreed with her Dad, she will be great!! We are anxious to see where she will be serving first but have no idea when we will find that out! Hopefully her P-day is not on Mondays, otherwise we won't find out until next week!! She loves P-days because she can catch up on sleep and they have time to relax a little bit! She ended up not doing any of the coordinating sister responsibilities, they had assigned someone else to the same position. So, she didn't need to do anything after all, although she did check in on the new sisters a few times which was nice! I can't believe it has been almost 3 weeks already since she left home! Well, time to close for now! I will post again when I hear more!
