AJ boarded his flight early this morning to Sao Paulo, Brazil. He connected in Salt Lake City and then Atlanta, where we understand he hooked up with a number of other missionaries also headed to the Brazil MTC. At the Portland airport when checking his bags, we inquired about the possibility of a security pass to the gate -- the ticket agent simply responded "so, which one of you will be using it?". Dad enjoyed a breakfast with AJ at Rose's, near the departure gate. He passed along some last-minute counsel and was comforted to witness him boarding the plane :-).
