I'm doing good. Still packing. I have to
mail off a box of stuff to you today; I'm trying to get my bags as light
as possible. :P
I will be flying to Atlanta first, then to Sao Paulo, Brazil. I have about an hour and a half layover in
Georgia. My flight from Houston leaves at 3:30 a.m. Texas time, so I'll be calling in the very early morning.
It was STUPIDLY DIFFICULT to find a phone calling card. Walmart didn't have them; even the AT&T store didn't have
them. I finally found one at a seedy gas station. :P

But yeah; just packing and getting ready to leave! I'm really excited to go. :)
Because
I am leaving at the same time as the departing missionaries [ones who have finished their missions and are going home], I've been
getting the departing missionary treatment. :) I got to go with them on the temple trip on Friday and I get to join them for a steak dinner with the mission president tonight, too. So that's pretty cool!
I'm sorry to hear about Grandad's health problems (and crazy neighbors). He's in my prayers every day.
School starts for everyone in Texas today; I've been seeing lots of buses. I can't believe Catriel will have graduated by the time I get back!! I liked my senior year a lot; I think she'll enjoy it too.

I like the pictures you sent, Dad! Did you guys shave Hogan's legs, or did he do that himself? Ha ha.
I
get super jealous every time you go on nature hikes. [We wrote him about hiking near Mt Rainier last weekend.] But I'm going to
see some beautiful sites here pretty soon, from what I've heard about
Brazil.
I don't have my card reader on me right now, so I can't send pictures today; sorry. I look forward to talking to you tomorrow! :)
Thanks for all you do for me!
Love,
Elder Duffin
