Airica left the MTC on April 31st to head to New York. She had to be up at the crack of dawn (4:30 a.m.) in order to get to the airport on time. She said she might be able to call us from the airport so we were all expecting a call.
She finally called Cami on her cell phone because she couldn't get a hold of mom or dad. She was complaining that it cost her $2 every time she attempted to make a call and she gave up on talking to mom and dad because she didn't want to waste money on them. Its funny how your perception of money totally changes once you don't have free access to it anymore. haha.
So! Airica told Cami all about her airport experience and it is a funny one. She was the only one in her whole group of 23 missionaries that didn't get a boarding pass. She had to go through a special line so they could print her out another one and that put her and her companion back about 20 minutes from all the others. Once she got her ticket and made it through security she found out that she had too many bags and they wanted her to go back to 'check' the extra one. She didn't have time to go all the way back through security and she had no money to check an extra bag. Plus she can't leave her companion... The airport attendees were nice to her and let her board the plane (with her extra bag) and it was fine and dandy from there.
Cami eventually got the call when she landed in Michigan for her layover. Airica said the Michigan airport is so huge that it took them forever to find their next gate. Its a good thing missionaries are assigned companions because otherwise they would have never found their next gate with Airica's sense of direction!

| Trust Airica to ask some random person in the airport to take this picture for them and text it to Cami's phone... This is her with Sister Glenn, her MTC companion! Aren't they adorable? |
