10 weeks sure have flown by. It seems like only yesterday we were  anxiously waiting for Braden to open his mission call and now we are saying goodbye him at the Portland Airport.  Emotions have been close to the surface all day and yet I have been trying to stay strong and supportive.  As we left the airport it still didn't seem real.  We went to grab a bite at "Wendy's" and suddenly Olivia asked, "Where's Braden?"  We all had a good laugh.  Couldn't sleep and so I went into Braden's room and laid down on his bed for a few minutes.  Praying all is well and you have made your connection in LA.  Godspeed, Elder!
