UPDATE: It has been a long couple of weeks waiting for Elder Barnett to get on the plane to Australia! His departure date from the MTC in Provo was originally set for July 14th, but after a long Planes, Trains and Automobiles kind of a day, all 7 Missionaries had to return from the SLC airport for another WEEK in the MTC. Their flight to Australia was rescheduled for the following Monday night. Once he left Utah, we didn't hear from him until Thursday when we received the following: (photo wont load!)

Dear family,
Elder Nathan Barnett arrived in the Australia Adelaide Mission safely. Sister
Carter and I are mindful of the great trust you have placed in us by sharing
your son. When he arrived, we met him at the airport and he was taken to the
mission office to be introduced to the staff and assistants for orientation and
pictures. Our interview was followed by dinner and testimonies at the adjacent church
with the other arrivers and senior couple missionary staff.
Elder Barnett’s companion is Elder Brendan Duffus from New South Wales,
Australia. They

I am aware that the Lord blesses, in many special ways, the families of
missionaries. As your son serves, you
will find that to be very true. Your
support is greatly appreciated.
You may contact the mission president, should the need arise, at 2014556@ldschurch.org at any time. Missionaries are allowed to send and receive
email from family and limited friends only. They check it at the local library
on preparation day, which is usually Monday.
Warmest Regards,
President Bradley D. Carter
AUSTRALIA ADELAIDE MISSION
