Got a letter from my brother in the mtc and he said he is singing in the missionary choir for the priesthood session of conference so be one the look out for him if you go.

6 am Friday morning we got up and drove out to Chandler Municipal Airport got in the rental that we had reserved the night before and took off.  pre-flight  I look so serious  I-10 , 51, and 202 We took off and went over Phoenix and saw sky harbor. We went up and about Deer valley airport, Scottsdale and Falcon Field. Then flew over Jessica's school which she thought was rather cool. Sky Harbor Her school After fly by my school and the airport I fly out of we can back to chandler I got of the wrong frequency when trying to talk to chandler tower :) but we made it all right. They say a private pilots license is really just a license to learn. After the flight we had breakfast at the restaurant they have on the field there. It was good and all and all is was a good morning. Jessica never even got sick. 

I have a brother that is on a mission. He went in to the mtc yesterday afternoon. I think it's really weird to think about or more to realize. I've been thinking about what I wanted to do and tell him about the mission that I didn't know or that I wish some one had told me.

Today was a cake walk I had to go up and and not get lost.

I went down to the Chandler airport yesterday and got checked out to rent planes from them. I ...
