We were so excited to get the news that Maren would be able to call us from the SLC airport as she flew off to Kazakhstan! She told us to be ready between noon and two, so we waited....and waited....and waited.... Unfortunately, by the time she was finally able to call it was 4:30 and we were all in our dentist appointments. Fortunately, the hygienist was kind and worked on other things while we visited with Maren. We sat together around my phone, with Emma on the reclining seat with her half-cleaned teeth, and asked Maren all of the questions we'd been waiting to ask her. The phone call went way too fast and then she was on her way.
It was so fun to get this picture texted to me an hour later from a very kind man sitting next to Maren. So thoughtful. He said he just thought I'd like to see a picture of my amazing missionary! Maren and Ksyenya looked so happy to be finally heading to their mission field.
We got this picture emailed to us the next day, showing they'd arrived in the Istanbul airport and were met by President Toronto and his wife, Diane.
The adventure has officially begun!
