Sister Wilkinson's safe arrival

We heard from Sister Wilkinson just very briefly this afternoon and we got an email with pictures from her mission president.  She is safely in the mission field.  Yay!  We couldn't be prouder and more excited for the adventures that await her.

Her mission president said: (just part of his letter)

Your daughter has arrived in the England Manchester Mission (EMM) safely and is ready to go to work as a missionary. We held a training session Tuesday morning where we covered many things including their mission finances, their first three-month training schedule, becoming a “Christ-like Missionary” and the EMM vision and guiding principles. We concluded with a testimony meeting and afterwards they had lunch. 


Attached you will find a picture of your daughter with Sister Ulrich and me in front of the mission home and also a picture of her first companion and trainer. Please know that we love the missionaries in the England Manchester Mission and we watch over them with great care. May the Lord bless you during this time of sacrifice in the lives of both you and your daughter.

Once she was transported to her first area we got a short email from Sister Wilkinson:

Don't have too much time to email, but hey - I get to email!! I just wanted to let you know I'm safe. I'm serving in Crosby. I hope you've seen the facebook pics. Love you!!!

Facebook Pic she was talking about:

My trainer is Sister Bundy.  She is from Nevada and only has about a month left.  So far, we get along really well.
