Travis

Travis left for Spain on Tuesday. He got to call us on his layover in Atlanta. It was really nice to hear his voice again. I got to talk to him for about 15 minutes. He sounded great and happy. He said he misses us but he knows he is doing something good. He told me he saw Kyle Whittingham at the airport which is really cool. He said they had like a ten minute conversation. They talked about football and where the Utes were going for their bowl game. Sports are one of his favorite things and he misses not being caught up on them. We also talked about the family and things he misses and things he has missed while he's been at the MTC. Then he had to go catch his flight.
Last night we got his Christmas box ready to go. Everyone made him an ornament that he could hang in his apartment or on his tree if they have one. The kids had fun making them. I 'm mad that I didn't take any pictures. We also sent him an iPod that we loaded up with a bunch of MoTab songs and a bunch of other church hymns and songs. He loves music so hopefully this will help him not miss it as much. We had to ship the box today to guarantee it to be there by Christmas. It cost about $125 to ship it to Spain. I had no idea it cost that much to ship things international.
