I cannot believe it's our last email from Chile. Our very last. Not gonna lie, a little bittersweet. Of course much more sweet than bitter, but still.......
Subject: Re: Our last email
Hello!!! Thanks for the email or I should say, last email. It was great to hear from you guys, I am so happy to see you guys this Friday and to be able to come home. I actually just have 2 days left, today and tomorrow then Wed, in the morning I go to Osorno. That is so weird. THANKS SOOO MUCH for depositing the money I really needed it. I will get some AWESOME souvenirs!!! I love you so much and am way excited to see you guys!!!! thanks for all that you guys have done for me. There is lots to tell but I will tel you Friday. Love you!!
Love Elder Catmull
Early this morning I got a call from the office in Osorno. It was another missionary calling on behalf of Elder L to let us know he was out of money and needed more. For a minute I about had a heart attack thinking that they were calling to tell me something had happened to him. Just money? Yeah, I can handle that. Crisis swiftly dealt with and now just to get through the next couple of days.

oooooooHH So exciting!!Bitter sweet is the perfect description. Brought back a lot of memories...
Melissa, I am so excited for you and your family! Like you, I thought the bitter-sweet part of sending a missionary out was at the beginning. But there were definitely feelings of "Finished? Already?" that accompanied our son's return.
(Don't be surprised by the fact that he will be, like, a hundred years old in many ways, and as dumb as he was the day he graduated high school in others! You're both in for an interesting year...)
Praying for his safe trip...
So so excited for you!! I can hardly wait to hear all about it.
