He's Off!

So Elder Buck left the MTC yesterday! After some delays in flights and whatnot, he left the SLC airport around 5pm. They thought they would leave a lot earlier than that so he had a few hours of hanging out at the airport. It was a little hard on his nerves, but he was doing great. Dallas and I were able to go over with the fam and talk to him when he called from the airport. It was so good to talk to him! We all cried! His testimony has grown and he's learned so much, in such a short time. He was nervous to go Africa, but so excited.
He had a long flight ahead of him...He would have a nonstop flight to Paris France and he should have got there around 3 am today. We were hoping he'd be able to call when he got there, but we didn't hear from him. I'm sure he was busy trying to find where to go. At least he knows some French! =)  From France he'll go straight to Africa, and should arrive there around 1 or 2 pm today. So everyone keep him in your prayers and we'll let you know more when we know more!
