They're Off.....

To Missouri that is. Our missionaries left this morning. We are so proud of them and grateful for the choices they have made their entire lives to lead up to this most wonderful day and experience. We will miss them but know that they are being taken care of with the most precious hands and will meet so many great people in Missouri. As we stood this morning saying good-bye, I couldn't help but wonder if we had all stood their at another time many years ago, saying good bye to them as they came to fulfill their earthly mission and hoping that one day we would be with them. We love them so much and can't wait to visit!!
You have to notice the packing job!! I don't think you could have gotten one more item in the back of this truck. In fact, I wondered if Dad left room for Mom or should I say, Did Elder Madsen leave room for Sister Madsen!! Of course he did!!!

That was the best packing job. Ashlee did GREAT!!! I think the back seat was packed just as tight. Mom may have had just enough room to snap her seat belt!!! Miss them already!

Your parents were telling us how they couldn't pack any meat because they didn't have any room. I suggested the glove box. Or even around the foot pedals. I think that space was used also! Farewell Madsens! We will miss you!

Good thing they are already used to sitting so close in the cab of the truck :)
