Rebekah arrived at the Pangborn Airport in East Wenatchee at about 10:30am. She checked her luggage, got her boarding pass, and then had about an hour to "linger" with the family before going through security. She had already said "goodbye" to her sisters; Rachel the day before as she flew back to Idaho for college and Faith earlier Tuesday morning as she left to attend her running start classes at Wenatchee Valley College. She was smothered by hugs from mom and dad and her two little brothers, Michael & Joseph. She was also able to get some last minute hugs from her Uncle Keith, Nana & Papa, Grandpa Webb, Aunt Susan, Grandma Webb, and Uncle Ben.
The time finally came for her to go through security and board her plane. A wide range of emotions were felt by all as she walked out of view to embark on this new chapter of her life(Mom, Dad, Michael, & Joseph stayed to watch the plane take off and fly off into the distance).
She flew to Seattle, and then on to Salt Lake City where she boarded a shuttle which would take her to the Missionary Training Center in Provo (Click hereto watch a virtual tour of the MTC)
She sent a text at 7:31pm Tuesday evening saying:
"Hey Mom and Dad, I am here safe and sound. They had us go to devo(devotional) before sending this. Now hopefully I'll go eat something, haha. Love you so much!!"
