Great day today. We talked to Steve at 5:00 or so this morning when he was at the Salt Lake airport. He sounded very excited to be finally heading out to Toronto. He didn't sound at all homesick which was really great to not hear. He tried to phone us from Houston about 8:45 but unfortunately Mom and I were both gone for a few minutes, me to Ag-Steel and Mom to Grandma Wilde's. However Steve phoned again about 4:00 or so from Toronto right after they landed and we got to talk a little again Scott and Mandy were here then and they got to say hi too. Later this evening, about 8:00 maybe, Steve's mission president called and talked to Mom (she answered the phone). He told Mom that Steve had arrived and all was going well. He said that Steve was very excited to be there and was very enthusiastically waiting to start working in the field. He said steve would go to his first assignment after a day or so of orientation. He said Steves e-mail address stays the same stevescott@mylds.net. That call was an exciting and reassuring call to finish off a great day.

Mandy downloaded a few recent pictures for us so I've included a few for y'all to view.
