Unfortunately, my camera was stolen the next week, before I was able to download the pictures from that day - so unless it miraculously shows up anytime soon, you'll just have to live with verbal renditions.
He received his call in March 2007 - the date escapes me - and was to report to the Cape Town, South Africa mission on August 2, 2007. We were to ship him out via airplane on July 31st for his international flight and he was going to train at the MTC in Johannesburg.
We ran into some bumps in the road due to the Feds not granting letters or visas or something as quickly as they usually do so he was going to go to Provo instead of Johannesburg to wait for his FBI Clearance letter.
I took the afternoon off of work to go with mom and James to the MTC and see him off. We took pictures all the way. Some on her camera - whose battery lost charge, and then some on mine - which got lost/stolen the week after.
It was a beautiful day and we had a wonderful time being there with James.
Here is the latest picture we have of Mr. GQ out in Africa. We'll post some of his letters and pictures again throughout the duration of his mission (approximately 2 years).
He is doing well and loving being out there with the people. It's been a beautiful experience for us all.
We will keep you posted. Say some prayers that some kind soul found my camera and has the decency to turn it in.... 2 months later =(
