I will attempt to share a little of what going from CES training in Provo to Sunday night in the mission field in Alaska has been like!
We actually had amazing teachers from CES. Day one was a brother from the Philippines here since January . A great teacher and helped us feel more prepared for Alaska! Our others couple have become good friends! We learned about pathways too. We really appreciated what we learned there!
We also got to join Joshua’s family for Bella’s And sophies game!! Fun to watch them!! Went back for a devotional with Elder Nash! Then vack for Jace’s flag football that we got there just in time to see him throw a touch down pass and extra point!!
Wednesday afternoon we decided to go home to do our wash and let Chalae feed us again!! Good to see them one last time!
Chalae took us to the airport Thursday morning at 4:30. She got us there then had a flat when she got home!! We were on a flight to Seattle with at least 21 young missionaries. All went smooth so when we got picked up at the airport by the office elders we were glad to see them. There was a uhaul to get all of the luggage!
We met office and got our car, a grey Nissan rogue. They send us on our way! Our townhouse is about 12 minutes from mission office. The previous missionaries left us well stocked in every way. Lots of canned goods spices and basics and all the cleaning supplies!! Really nice of them!!
A office couple the whites took us to dinner and answered a lot of our questions so that was great!
We went to orientation Friday morning and learned a lot about Alaska and met more missionaries. They fed us breakfast and lunch and I got my new Serger!!! We met the tech specialist for the mission who got us set up with all that stuff! We went for a walk by the institute where really beautiful river runs through and oh the trees!!
Our p-day is Saturday so we shopped a little when on a bit of a hike really close to where we live and explored our city a bit. We had the night meeting fir Stake conference. It was great and it was right by the temple!
We got to stake conference and YSA sacrament in other stake! Dinner with one of the teachers. The Kincaid. Ended our day with a zoom meeting with mission president on preparing for winter. It starts any day we hear! I am already loving thermals!! High has been 52 but we have seen the sun!!
We are happy and i have the best comp in the mission! Love you all! Mom
