Before taking my Mom to the airport to fly back to England, we checked out the Great Park and went up in the Great Orange Balloon! I forgot until we were there that my Mom has a fear of heights but it seemed like an appropriate way to send her off! And you wouldn't believe how excited Emma was... at one point after asking Chris (for the millionth time) if he was "so excited!"... he answered, "If I wasn't before, I sure am now!".
I was not looking forward to another goodbye but after spending that time with her, I realized how much she loves the mission and the missionaries and how much they love and need her (especially the Mission President!)! A lot more than we do, as hard as that is to admit! It is such a great work they are a part of. And now we have all these fun memories to hold on to until we see them next!
