Elder Huss is on his way to California!

We got a phone call from Elder Huss this morning! He is at the airport in Salt Lake, waiting with a group of 13 elders to fly out to Santa Barbara. It was so great to hear from him, and hear his voice. He is so happy - so happy to be on his way to serve, to be a missionary, and to get to work. He is feeling grateful for and realizing the ways he had been prepared to serve as a missionary, in more ways than he had even realized - the time to study scriptures intensely at the MTC has been a huge blessing as well. (I think of the many times I take that privilege and responsibility too lightly, and neglect or forget my own scripture study - which is so so stupid, when it is such a powerful tool for us!) Anyway, he is doing well, and excited to be undertaking this next phase of his life and his missionary adventure! Will keep you posted with further letters etc.!
