Filing notes

Natalie's MTC travel itinerary, issued Thursday July 23 and forwarded to Jason and Kristi within the hour. This is the document the family had been waiting on; the July 21 P-day call recorded that flight details were expected Friday, July 24, so it arrived a day early.

Departure date resolved: Tuesday, July 28. This had been contested. The original mission-office plan relayed July 3 said July 28; on the July 21 call Natalie said she flies "next Wednesday" (July 29), and Kristi's calendar was revised to match her. Four minutes after this itinerary arrived, Kristi moved the calendar back to Tuesday July 28. The PDF confirms July 28, so Natalie's July 21 recollection was wrong and the original office plan held.

The email body above is the MTC Travel Office cover letter in full. The itinerary section is transcribed from the attached PDF, preserved at Sources/03_originals/emails/2026-07-23_email_natalie-travel-itinerary_raw.pdf.

The PDF gives the mission president's name as "Todd Bert Stone"; the vault elsewhere uses "Todd B. Stone."
