I told my wife that I was going to send Jed an email after her last night so that mine was 'really' the last one (she was telling me that she was writing the last email to Jed). We have been preparing for his return this Sunday. He sent an email to us this morning with this:
"Change in flight plans! Sorry that it's so sudden! Love you guys though!
Let me know if you don't get the attachment.
Elder Murri"
He now arrives on Oct 19th (Wednesday) evening - same time. He did respond quickly to his Mom's email sent this morning (his Mom wondered why the sudden change). He basically said that the first flight was set up on the wrong date. The Wednesday flight was what was planned all along, they just didn't realize it was wrong.
I guess I need to send next Sunday's email after my wife in order to 'really' send the last one.
Elder Murri shared his testimony with his Mom, and shared with her some of his plans regarding how he would like to remain close to the Savior upon his return. I wanted to post them here but then felt like they were his, so even though they are goals we should each have, and even though he said them so well and the way he said them inspires me to do better I will forbear. Let me finish by sharing a few of the ending statements from his email.

I am Elder Murri. I am not perfect. I am filled with and often marred by the mistakes of men. But my weakness is so often made up in the strength and grace of Christ, for which I am so grateful, and eternally indebted. I love the people here in England. They will ALWAYS have a large, large place in my heart. I have been blessed beyond belief these past two years.
I know that God lives. I believe in Him because I have felt His love, and by Him, I have been healed.
I will soon return, but part of my soul will always be here.
How great a blessing it is to serve my God, and serve me fellow men. How wonderful is the Atonement of Jesus Christ!
I'll see you in a week and a half.
Love, your son,
Elder Murri
