Shelby didn't get her Visa back in time to go the the MTC in Sao Paulo, Brazil as scheduled, but neither did most of the missionaries she was supposed to go to Brazil with. We found out a couple of weeks before she was to leave that she would be going to Provo instead. She was a little disappointed when she got the news, but realized that she would get to spend time in the MTC with lots of her high school and Utah State friends. That perked her up a bit.
Wednesday morning, March 27th we left home early to get to the airport in time for her 7:40 am flight. The airport was a very somber place with small groups of families saying goodbye to their missionaries. Not at all like the scene at the airport for a homecoming. These pictures are not flattering, but convey the families feeling of saying goodbye for 18 months.
