I was beginning to think it wouldn't happen, but then the phone rang!
Isaac departed the MTC at 4:20 am with his first flight leaving SLC to Denver at 8:54 am. There were 32 missionaries in the group so I knew there would be a long line to use the pay phones unless he could find a kind soul that would let him borrow a cell phone.
My phone rang at 8:27. Which surprised me cause I thought he would have been on the plane by then. He said there were other missionaries waiting to use the phone behind him so we only go to talk for 8 minutes and 47 seconds.
It was so sweet to hear his voice. It was even more sweet when I could hear the tears in his voice. He is NOT a crier.
Here are some of the questions I asked him:
He attended the Provo temple twice: once endowment, once initiatories.
He's ironed one shirt.
He ate only three bananas.
What can we do to better help him: pray.
He loves pictures ... send more!
He wants to get mail everyday.
The hardest thing for him has been being away from family.
He hadn't been too homesick until this phone call.
The best thing has been making friends with his district.
It was a cry fest for me but so good to talk with him.
My overall impression is that he is doing very well!
Isaac was able to give Justin a very quick phone call while in the Denver airport.
