Erika's birthday was Friday, Nov. 4th, and it was strange to not have her here or to be able to call her, so it was good to talk to her a few days before hand. Though we remembered Erika on her birthday by having tortellini for dinner!
A bit later that afternoon we received a quick email saying she had arrived safely, and then the next day we got the below email from her Mission President:
Dear Family,
Sister Whitney and I want you to know that your missionary has arrived safely in Texas.
We look forward to serving together in accomplishing the Lord’s work. We hope you
enjoy the attached picture of your missionary as well as knowing that the missionaries
are in good hands here as they are in the Lord’s service.
Your missionary’s assignment will be in Azle, Texas. She will be serving with
Sister Poulton.
Their apartment address is:
1045 Timberoaks Dr. #3
Azle, TX 76020
Your missionary will email on Monday which is their preparation day. They are always
happy to hear from you as well. Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
President & Sister Whitney
