Just wanted you to know they arrived safely this afternoon...but much later than planned (almost 3-hours later!), due to some instrumentation problems that had to be fixed in Dallas. In the end, they put them on a different plane and got them on their way. When they finally arrived, we had dinner (they were starving, as you can imagine!), took their mission portraits and this photo, plus a testimony meeting and introductions to the mission and each other. Each one also had an interview with President King...and, tomorrow morning, they'll find out where they'll be serving and who their trainers/companions will be. We had a wonderful evening. You'll be receiving two letters shortly--one from your missionary and another from us with a printed picture for their scrapbooks.
Thank you for training up such wonderful young people. They come to us well-prepared, happy and optimistic...with deep testimonies. Please be sure to write them an encouraging letter every week...and they will also write you. There will be many marvelous experiences to share.
Any questions or concerns...please let us know!
Best wishes,
President and Sister King (and 16-year old Connor)
Georgia Atlanta North Mission
