I didn't hear my cell phone in the next room. Fortunately, I heard the
last ring as I returned to my room, but of course I missed the call.
Area code 801 - Utah! I hit the call back button. Andrew answered!
Benjamin popped into the shower before I had a chance to tell him
Andrew was on the phone. I woke up Joseph to talk to him somewhat
drowsily and caught Ben as soon as he was decent, so each of us got to
talk with him briefly.
They were at the airport, luggage successfully checked in. He made
weight! That's a relief. The smaller bag checked in fine. The big
one went up to 54 pounds (la gasp!),but settled back down to 50.
whew!
Andrew sounds so good!
He assured me that he did get to eat "plenty of ice cream." In their
district there was another companionship with a fast eater and a slow
eater, so they did "splits" (temporary companion trades).
We are trying to figure out the email thing. He emailed home last
week, but I didn't get it. Of course, he has no idea what computer
availabilty he is going to have and it will change with every
transfer, but he gave me his e-address. elderrobarts@mylds.net OR? is
it ElderRobarts@my LDS.net ? I am going to send him an email so that
he will have my address. If you want to email him - remember that his
computer time is going to be extremely limited. P-days are always
busy and computers are not always available. The more time he spends
reading e-mails, the less time he will have to WRITE e-mails. Keep
them short and sweet. (single ladies - not "too sweet"!)
I can hardly remember what we talked about in the short time we had.
It was just so good to hear his voice. I could hear in his voice that
he has grown a lot.
He was happy and excited. He said it's better than getting Eagle.
Soon he will be landing in Canada!

Checked my email on break. The all lower case e-address bounced back:
"Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:
elderrobarts@mylds.net
Technical details of permanent failure"
Nothing on the one with proper caps. IF it works, it may be quite some time before we know.

I didn't think caps made a difference in e-mails addresses.
Hey, I just checked the e-mail address I have for one of the missionaries serving from our ward. It is (their first and last name)@myldsmail.net
Maybe you should try that. Also, did you make sure his e-mail to you didn't go into your spam mail? Or was blocked by an anti-spam program?
Sariah, you might be right about it being myldsmail.net. I didn't bring it with me to work as I was running late because of being on the phone and I thought I could remember it.
Andrew sent me an email this afternoon! Barbara, I forwarded it to you. His email, for others, is elderrobarts@myldsmail.net. If I got that wrong, I think I might break something. xD
Also, Andrew got Barbara's email wrong. I let him know, though. Hopefully he'll get it right next time!
Hope I helped with the confusion!
He should be in Canada by now if my memory serves me right. It has been a while since I took that same flight to Minneapolis and then on to Winnipeg. I'm sure he got a great view of the majestic snow capped Rocky Mountains and the many lakes of Minnesota. Those are the two things I remember most.
The username part of the email address (the part before the @) can be case sensitive (but usually isn't). The domain part of the email (after the @) cannot be case sensitive according to internet standards for domain names.
