  Speaker 1: Do you want some more stories?
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Sure, Gina, you know international traveler went to Rome? Did
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: you ever did you ever run into your son?
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: Well, I was going to tell the story of why
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: we went to Rome, and he's part of that.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: So it's spring break and.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: A great teacher at Judge Memorial, the Latin teacher mister Saran,
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: He is famous for putting these trips together.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Festus many years ago.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: When he was a Latin student of mister Saran, took
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: a spring break trip with him and mister Saran and
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: his wife jen Bill.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: You know his wife jen Oh, Yeah, because she has
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: the same name as my wife.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: Super nice people and they put this trip together and Mohammed,
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: my youngest son, not the prophet, wanted to go on
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: the trip, and there was some discussion as to whether
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: we would want to be chaperones on this trip, which
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: I said absolutely not.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: That sounds horrible.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Why would you do that? That was very wise of you.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: And I also don't think Mohammad wanted us.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: No, it's not fun to have your parents to get
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: away from them for a while. But we thought maybe
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: this is an opportunity for us to go to Italy
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: and just sort of be.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: In the neighborhood, but not officially.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: So what are you doing so you could just keep
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: an eye on them.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Well, here's here's our exact thinking.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: If he loses his passport, it will be easier for
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: us to deal with it if we're.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: There, because he will. He did not lose it, but
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: we thought if he lost it.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: He seems the kind of kid.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's because the kids are responsible for their
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: own passport, like it's not like they collect them all
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: and then.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Like they should, they.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Here's your passport, you're responsible for it. But my husband
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: and I thought, well, well we'll just go now. They
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: went everywhere. They went to.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Florence, Milan, CCI, Pompeii, Verona, Venice, they.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Tour it all over.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, we said.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: We're just going to go to Rome. We're just going
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: to stay put in one place. We're in the neighborhood.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: And to answer your question, no, never ran into him.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Oh it was fine, Yeah, which was fine.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: The way we planned it though, is that we left
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: the day after they did. So get him on the plane,
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: get him out, we'll leave the next day. And we
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: came home the day before the same thing. We're here,
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: we can so when Festus went on this trip a
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: long time ago. When we went to meet him at
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: the airport, I thought it would be funny to make
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: a sign where you, you know, you wait for your
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: missionary to come back.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: And I sent the picture to Elder Festus.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: By the way, Gina, did you lose your past?
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: No? I do not, so you yeah so so.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: So when Festus came home, I had a sign that
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: said welcome home, Elder Festus. So when we went to
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: pick up Mohammed, I made a sign.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Now, when I did Festus as sign, I just wrote with.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: A marker on a on a post report.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: This one I actually got lettering.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Don't let Festus know it'll be so upset. You love
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Mohammed more than me. Huh.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: I just I had I had crafts available, so I
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: made him a sign that said welcome home, Elder Mohammed.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Because that's funny.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: How many Elder Mohammed's do you think are coming back
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: from their mission.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: It's a pretty common name, though, but.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I'm curious if anybody has ever known.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: An elder And you know, I bet there is one.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: I'm sure of it.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: So we're standing there waiting for him to come out,
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: and this is this is my child, who is ear
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: to ir grin three hundred and sixty five days a year,
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: just a kid. He walks out and he is not
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: ear to ear grinned And at first I thought, oh, no,
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: he's embarrassed that I made this sign.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: No, so what's.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Wrong Mohammed And he said, well, my bag made it
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: here mm hmmm, because he had an air tag which
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: we put in it for another rate to keep track of. Yeah,
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: he said, I saw on the plane that my bag
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: made it here. And I went to the the carousel.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: I saw another bag on there that looked like my bag.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: No, this happens fairly off.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: My bag was not there, and he was looking at
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: his phone, and he watched the bag go out.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Into the parking lot on the freeway.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: And happens pretty often because they look the same, you know.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And we said, well, you know, maybe we can
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: track it and go to their house and knock on
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: the door. But as we're watching it, it's going up
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: Parley's Canyon. Oh, it's going to Evanston.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Oh No. And Muhammed is.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: Just, you know, he's exhausted because he's been traveling. But
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: like all of his souvenirs and his clothes, like every everything.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Was in the suitcase.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Well, and I said, I said, honey, I promise when
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: that guy gets home and opens that he doesn't want
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: your suitcase.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: He wants his suitcase, he's gonna bring.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: It back, assuming he's honest or assuming it is a guy.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I mean, I don't know. I don't
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: know why.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: I think it's a joy.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I think I think I think women checked it.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Women.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: I think we would know if it's their bag or not, like,
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: this isn't my bag exactly. And so we went to
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: file acclaim Delta. But this isn't Delta's fault. They didn't
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: misplace a bag. Some guy just picked or girl just
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: picked it up and took it. They were very nice
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: and helpful though, because they took down all our information
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: and said, well, if they come back, we'll and I've
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: had it before where we've lost luggage and they'll deliver
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: it to your house.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I've only I think lost a bag once and
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: they finally did find it and bring it to the house.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: But so so I promised Mohammed, I said, well, I
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: promised this yet not yet, but I said, I promise
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: this person does not want your bag.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: They want their bag.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: They're they're gonna come, but if they're all the way
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: in Wyoming, it might be.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Now when was when was this? Uh, Sunday, Sunday, Monday?
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Is there is there any ID in the bag? Does
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: he have it like a tag on the bag with
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: his contact information on it?
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Well then they then they should have called by now.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: They probably found a lot of cool stuff in there
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: and said let's just keep this.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: I said, what, so what what did you have?
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: This clothing is nicer than mine?
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: What were your you know, souvenirs you got?
• 7:07

• 7:13
  Speaker 3: glass blowing demonstration, and he bought.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Some cool pieces of pieces.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: Of glass that he you know, those kind of things
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: you can't you know, Well, I can go buy them
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: new clothes, but that's not replacing.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: The any money in there.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Uh No. But so I'm putting it out there.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: If you like, flew home from from Italy and and
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: you live in Wyoming and you got home with the
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: wrong bag, could.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: We get the bag bag I got cheap to herd.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: That's why it's so important to individualize your bag.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because they all look alike.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: It's true. I remember asking somebody once, I said, that
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: bag is just such a bizarre color. On purpose? Yep,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: on purpose, because everybody has black ones, you know gray,
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: I see a lot of gray.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a blue bag. Is a blue away bag?
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Those away two cases?
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: Those that's so if if you live in Wyoming and

• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Wyoming to get it?
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: I don't what. It's an hour and a half. Where
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: is it in Evanston? I think, so that's a that's
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: an hour. Let's not go.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Knock on their door and say, yeah.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Buy some lottery tickets.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe that's what.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: That's exactly why. Probably would have done it the next
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: day if the track, if the tracker is still viable.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: I'm surprised he hasn't contacted you, Yeah, because I think
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: he wants his bag. Doesn't he want his bag?
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: But he's contacting Delton and they say, oh, yeah, we
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: got your bag right here. And so I got two bags? Now, yeah,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: I want to do this one. I don't care. Huh.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, I'm going to follow this throughout the day
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: for you.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: And keep you Yeah. I mean, I don't. I don't
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: understand why you're you just don't go drive up there.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: If you get on I eighty, it takes no time
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: to get to Evans.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Do you want? Do you want tickets?
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Do you want?
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: You should?
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: I just yeah, I'm I'm really I'm paranoid about grabbing
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: the wrong bag, you know, And I have actually I
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: have grabbed the started to grab the wrong one, and
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: then but I see a tag and I go the
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Wait a minute, that's not.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: My Yeah, so that's wow.
• 9:35

  Speaker 1: Is that weird that I just assume it's a guy.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: No, I'm I know it's a guy.

  Speaker 1: You wouldn't have to.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Open it to Are you saying that women have some

  Speaker 2: That's the difference. They have some some special esp they
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: just have sense.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: Oh, This is If you mark an air tag lost,
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: it will notify any iPhone around the air tag that
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: it's lost and play a sound.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, there you go. Maybe we'll do that.
