Elder Zachary Nelson has been called to serve in the California Anaheim Mission of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for the next two years. Zach and I (yep, Dan is writing this) left for Utah on Memorial Day, May 30th, so Zach could be turned over to the care and keeping of the Missionary Training Center on the afternoon of June 1st.
We got to visit with quite a bit of family because of a quickly pulled together Memorial Day family gathering (as many as could come) at Jim's and Carol's. Thanks for doing that for us to give us the chance to visit with quite a few family members.
Grandma and Grandpa Nelson (Mom and Dad to me) were good enought to haul us here and there to get a few last minute things done, and some other last minute visiting.
Thanks to all. I have a few pictures of the preparations and change of custody.
On the plane from Houston to Salt Lake City
Hey, here's a poor lonely soul looking for a ride from the SLC airport!
Visiting and last minute things done. Bags packed and almost ready to head out.
Grandmothers like to make adjustments and admire those fine young men!
Driving up to drop off...hopping out to tak out the bags...one last grip and grin with Dad.
There he goes!! Off to start his great adventure...his best two years!!

I love these pictures! So proud of Zach for being so happy and willing to serve. He's gonna be great! It did make me a little sad though to think about not seeing him for two years.
