HALIFAX HERE HE COMES!!!!

This has been a crazy morning. We all got up and got all ready because we knew that Randy would be calling us from the airport today. Trevor went to school to take a test and then came home. Brooklynn and Kelsie just went to school. They were funny. THey said they didn't know what to say to Randy because they both just sent him letters and they didn't have anything new to say. Randy's flight was at 11:00 so we thought he would get there around 9:00 and then call us. We waited and waited and were starting to wonder if he was going to call. Finally at 10:15 he called. Trevor answered and I got on the other phone. We just heard Randy say Hi how are you guys and then the phone went dead. He called back and the same thing happened again. I was starting to panic and wanted to try calling back the pay phone. Then he changed phones and called back and we were finally able to talk to him. He sounded really good and excited to get to Halifax. He said that he is really excited to go tracting because they just practiced that at the MTC and he thought it was great. He said that the last three weeks have flown by, but that he is ready to get back out into the real world. Jamie asked him if he missed her and he said Kinda but that he mostly misses Duke. We only talked for a few minutes and then they started boarding his plane. He said that he had to go but that he would call us back when he gets to Detroit. He has a two hour layover in Detroit and then flies to Halifax. He should get there at 9:30 tonight their time. Halifax is three hours ahead of us. He said that he is nervous, but not half as nervous as the day he went into the MTC. He also said that once we dropped him off he felt so much better and wasn't nervous anymore. I was glad to hear that because I could tell he was having a hard time. I'll update this after we talk to him this afternoon. Hopefully we can talk a little longer.
