It is the weekend before Gabe flies to the Mexico City Missionary Training Center (MTC) and mom is stressed. You would think, with Gabe being our second missionary, this would all be "old-hat" to us; but, no. Gabe is more laid back than Sam, and this has been the source of much concern and hand-wringing as mom makes sure there isn't something he's forgotten. (It won't be as easy to send things to the Mexico MTC as it was to send things to Provo for Sam.)
Gabe has a gathering with friends tonight, and his "Farewell talk" is tomorrow in Sacrament Meeting at 1:00. Monday will be his last chance to get any last minute items. He will be set-apart as a missionary Monday night. Tuesday morning we will drop him at the airport for his flight to Mexico City.
A quick NOTE: about the blog: Mostly the posts will be from Gabe's weekly letters home. Some personal communications may be omitted as "not for public consumption". Occasionally, mom and dad will post their thoughts. The intent here is to share his experiences with a large group of interested people, without the need for Gabe to manage a distribution list while serving the Lord.
