ELI FLYS TO PERU!

 Well it was finally time for my sweet little Elder to leave his safety bubble of the CCM and head for his final destination....Lima Peru! My silly little prayers were answered though because we mailed Eli a package the first week he arrived in the CCM and it never arrived...it had shorts he needed, a shirt he wanted, a little note and some treats! On Friday before he was to leave the CCM, they took his drivers license and then on Monday the CCM took it to the post office to claim his package for us and they delivered just in the nick of time and returned his license as well. He was set to fly out the next morning at 4am! I didn't sleep good the night before....I was stressed out. Then all day I just kept trying to track his little air tags so I could see if he made it to the airport, if he landed, if he made it to the mission home, etc. He sent us a message from the airport letting us know he arrived and then I made him send a selfie for proof of life pic, ha ha! That night he got to call us when he arrived at the Mission office and was sleeping there that night with all the new missionaries in his mission. They went out to dinner that night and got chicken. The next morning they left for the mission home and Eli said Sister Byers made a "bussin breakfast!" and he sent pics outside the presidents home showing us a Peru Golf Course! He was so excited that day to find out who his companion would be and what area he would be in! He is so pumped and excited to his the dirty, hilly streets of Peru running!! We love this missionary of ours so much! We pray for his safety daily!
