Elder Hancock
From Mom:
My brother Jon had a flight just before Sam's, so Jon got to see him at the airport! Jon had made him some cookies (he's a fabulous uncle) and brought him some fruit snacks, too. Perfect. Jon actually got there hours ahead of Elder Hancock and barely stopped to rest as he walked back and forth from Security to the Gate, looking for a group of new missionaries (they're hard to miss).
When they didn't show up and time was running short, I played the mom-card and *cough cough* yes, called the MTC and talked to the Travel Office. No, they weren't aware of any accidents and hadn't heard anything, so yes, the missionaries were still flying out. In my motherly defense, it was a very icy morning with lots of reported accidents from an overnight snowstorm, and also road closures and traffic problems due to President Trump flying in at that very moment. Obviously it all worked out. Uncle Jon found Elder Hancock in the TSA line and got a picture.

| Kudos to Uncle Jon for hunting down Elder Hancock. The Elders were late due to traffic or something. The kids stayed home from school, waiting to talk to big brother Sam. We got to talk to him very briefly (thank you, Jon!) and Dad got a brief moment to talk from work, and it was worth every moment of waiting. |
An hour or so later, I got a text from a stranger - who is now my new best friend, although I have no clue who he or she is - who so kindly shared a picture of the group of Elders:

The blessed Stranger texted: "These Elders were so sweet to let me stop them and make them take a picture. Such an awesome site to see these guys here at the SLC airport."
