Off to Africa!

September 16, 2014
The take-off from the Salt Lake airport.
Elder Snow's Mom went to the airport to see if she could see the plane
taking off.  She was able to get this amazing photo of their plane!
He had said that he saw the car from the plane! 

We haven't receive an email yet, but we have re-posted some pictures from some of the moms of the other elders and from Sister Holmes, the mission president's wife.










After a delayed flight from Chicago to London the Elders
missed their connecting flight to Ghana and spent 24 hours in
London.  What do boys do?... they went sight-seeing!  They rode
the subway and saw Big Ben!

The next day they arrived back at London Heathrow Airport
to leave for their last leg of their journey.

They look so happy to finally be in Africa!

Dinner at the mission home.  His signature cheesy grin!

Instruction from the mission nurse. 
Always take your Doxy pills!

good food, good company!




When they arrived in Accra, Ghana from London they spent the night in Accra before going on to Kumasi the next day.
I'm sure they were very tired and eager to meet their trainers and begin their new assignments.




Thank you to the other elder's moms and to Sister Holmes for letting us share these pictures!
We can't wait for his email to hear about his adventure from his perspective.
