Connor traveled from the MTC in Provo, Utah to the Salt Lake City Airport and will be in the air at 11:15 headed for Portland and then Tokyo. He was able to call his mom just before he boarded and is excited and anxious to get there. He is in good spirits and after a short lecture from momma bear is ready to open his mouth and speak. There are 19 missionaries traveling to his mission today including the 4 from his district. His old companion Elder Schow, Sister Fishburn and Sister Taylor. We noticed Friday that Tokyo was in the path of then Tropical Storm Mindulle. After watching over the weekend as it strengthened and weakened, we thought we were in the clear Sunday as the forecast was for landfall as a weakening Tropical Storm. Monday morning we learned that it had worsened and finally came ashore as a Category 1 Cyclone. Our thoughts are with the people of Japan as they clean up after this storm. The same flight that the missionaries are on today was cancelled Sunday afternoon. We are glad that they are not spending a night in Portland though he could have checked in with several families he knows there. We know Alex and Aubrey would have been to the airport post haste.
About half way there. It will be a sleepless night for mom. He should be arriving before 4:00 pm Tokyo time. That makes it 2:00 am in Houston.
So we know that his plane landed at 3:16. One minute behind schedule. We will let you know when we hear from him. His new p-day should be Monday.
