Sara left Provo and went to Italy on Tuesday, November 4th, so we did not get the usual email from her. We were all very excited, however, to get to talk to her on the phone while she was at the Salt Lake Airport and then again later when she was in Chicago. She is doing great and it was wonderful to get to talk to her! Here is an email that we received from her Mission President, President Acerson:
Dear Parents,
I'm sure you're all anxious to hear word that your missionary has arrived safely! We picked them up from the airport yesterday -- with all their luggage!
They had their first pizza, then we when went to the beautiful St. Paul's Basilica where Paul (teacher of the people, defender of truth) is buried. Following that, we drove past the colosseum on our way to a lasagna dinner and an interview with President Acerson.
Today was filled with training and Golden Transfers, then they were off to their cities.
You can be very pleased with your missionary. While I realize this is a group email, I can honestly say that I am speaking to each of you individually. Every single elder and sister in the group was helpful, outgoing, happy, and excited about getting out there to serve! They will make great missionaries. Thank you for your sacrifice in sending them here to serve the Lord and bring others to Christ.
Tomorrow I will send pictures, mailing instructions, and more. Thank you for your love, support, and prayers. God be with you.
Con affetto,
(with affection),
President and Sister Acerson
