And they're off!

 Here's the troop that sent the boys off. It was so great to see them!

Simon will definitely miss them the most. 

He stood there and didn't move until long after the plane left. 

But later that evening, after talking with the boys at LAX, and a large bowl of ice cream, our little missionary was feeling a bit better. :)

About 10pm we received a text from a friend who had a missionary in his old ward whose sister is going to Guatemala mission and posted this picture on Facebook a few minutes prior. If you look closely, you'll see Elders Darling and Whelan in the mob. What a small world!
