Elder Jones called about 6:30 this morning from the airport. "Sorry to wake you up, Mom, but thought I'd call & say hi and bye before I went to Detroit!" He said that calling was 'neither encouraged nor discouraged, but they didn't say we couldn't!' and chatted for just a few minutes while they were waiting for others on their flight to board. He and his traveling companion, Sister Dunn, are in the air right now - they should be landing in Detroit in about an hour, and then, he said, they'll "hit the ground running" so he won't get a chance to check his email today. He was pretty pleased with himself - he doesn't do so well with packing, normally; he can't get things to fit as easily as I can - but he was happy that he didn't have to leave anything behind. "I got everything to fit in there! Of course, my big suitcase weighs 49 pounds, and the other one is 45, but I didn't have to leave anything!" He asked me to tell everyone hi and give his love, and promised to write as soon as he could. Then the pay phone beeped and asked for another quarter, but he had to go - it was time to board! Good luck, Elder Jones!
