Kay left for Lima Peru for 2 1/2 yrs

We got up & ate & cleaned up & at 8:30 we all left for Grantsville to take Mother home. Claudia missed school & went with us.

When we woke up there was 3 in. of new snow. the roads were melted off only between airport & Black Rock & they were real icy., were dry when we came back.

Mother was sure glad to get home. Mrs Palmer came up & got all Kays new garments & took them down & washed them in her automatic & Berniece dried them in her dryer & Mother & Berniece marked his socks. We had a real good dinner. Mother gave me her new bed spread she had started & showed me how to do it, she had 6 done. We left at 5: & stoped in Salt Lake & got a thing or two. Went up to Ruths & juggled Kays things around trying to get it down to 44 lbs. He took Claudia down to get ready & at 8:10 we left for Salt Lake Airport & checked his baggage. He was 1 lb. over but it was OK. At 9:35 P.M he boarded a Pan American D.C 6, flight 602 & left for Peru with 5 other missionaries It was clear & cold wind & we saw the big plane wing it way over the high, white snow covered mountains in moonlight. Me & Jackie cried after he left. stayed to Ruths.
