5:00 am - Elder Bills and family wake up.
5:45 am - Elder Bills and family hop into caravan and depart to SLC airport.
6:15 am - Family misses airport exit. It was after all, 6:15 am.
6:20 am - Family exits freeway at the correct exit.
6:40 am - Elder Bills and family arrive at airport, check in with assistance from a nice employee, and check 2 bags. (46 lbs. and 37 lbs! Whoo! We didn't go over!)
8:00 am - Elder Bills makes it through security, gives one final wave, and commences with Mission Ghana!
Those are the facts we know so far. We also know after much staring at the little airplane tracker online that his flight arrived safely at JFK airport in New York where he transferred to another plane. At this moment his new plane is "en route" flying over the Atlantic Ocean. We're sure Elder Bills and the rest of the African-bound missionaries with him are looking forward to the 11 hour flight from New York to Ghana... Good thing he brought fruit snacks.
