Shelby called this morning from the Denver airport.  She LOVES the sisters and elders she's been able to "hang out" with and has learned SO much!  So far it has been a great experience.  I didn't know about the dearelder.com website until she had been there almost a week!  But we've sent her lots of letters and stuff.  I decided to send her goodies after she has been in Colorado for a bit.  The MTC feeds them very well :)  It's a small world:  she has met up with a sister in her Uncle Welby's ward, an elder from Prosser, WA (her cousins' area), and an elder that's a brother of a kid from ISU.  And of course the sister in our stake going to the Ukraine (can't quite think of her name at the moment).  We shed a few tears but overall it was the most pleasant conversation a mother could ever want from her daughter.  Love her so much!!!
