Someone was very kind and sent this photo of Lora and another sister missionary just before they flew out of SLC for their missions this morning. They have been in the MTC since July 8th, refining their skills in Mandarin Chinese. Lora will be working in the New York, NY North mission now for the rest of her 18 month mission.
I wasn't able to get a phone call from her this morning before she left because I'm here on the reservation on the western Washington coast with my sister and her family (they work in the school here) and there isn't cell phone service. Internet is sketchy, this may or may not post right away. It's been very interesting, the children are beautiful, the scenery is breathtaking.
Hopefully Papa got a call from Lora this morning before she flew out to NY. It's one of the few phone calls home that are allowed during the mission (also on Christmas and Mother's Day). It's a total immersion program, with no dating, no trips home, letters once a week, email once a week for 30 minutes from a public library, no websites- only emails. Being a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is all about serving the Lord and teaching people about the gospel of Jesus Christ. I'm pleased that she's willing to devote this volunteer time to her Savior. Please pray for her and those she will be blessed to teach!
