Airmen to Armenia

Click for Larger Quality.
This is a special piece I finally finished for my missionary, Jared Hammer, as he leaves the MTC to go to Armenia. I titled it: "Airmen to Armenia".
I designed our own "air force insignia" -- we're #26. Anyway, he is a jet fanatic and these are our two favorite planes: the F-22 Raptor and the F-117 Nighthawk.
The idea behind this piece is that we ejected from the planes as we're going over our different countries, the US and Armenia (hence the parachute flags) and even though we'll be far apart, "space" (punny) doesn't matter.
Enjoy!

The Armenians

Finally.
A group photo! Jared and his District all requested this picture of all seven of "The Armenians" in the MTC. They've been together all summer (about 9-10 weeks) and they have grown to be great friends. I printed off 7 copies (as requested) and sent them out today, along with the "Airmen to Armenia" piece. :) Sister Tolman is the camel, Sister Boyle is the clownfish, and sister Kohler is the koala. (They chose. Don't look at me.) Hopefully this will help them remember their amazing time in the MTC together!

Week 6 of 104

Very late post. Sorry!

Week 6 of 104:

Provo MTC (top) : This week was very eventful for my missionary! He and his roommates got to see 6 or 7 apostles and the entire first presidency! When they were coming in the building, they overheard security guards saying things like, "The Snake is in Transfer"! The were awed in the window, looking out. Then, they had a special devotional, where their district was called up to say what they sacrificed on their mission. Awesome!

Gilbert (bottom) : Some of my best friends are in this week's illustration, including the McBeth twins, Cassidy and Kelsea (the bunnies) and Kate Morrell, the red bushbaby. We all went out to lunch to celebrate Jared's one month out! Congrats Jared! I also went to an antique store this week where I found old Air Force patches and a Pilot's cap in perfect condition. Yes, I am the best girlfriend ever. :) They are now in Jared's save box.
