Aldste Francis flew with his district to Stockholm on Monday, August 28th. He called us from the Salt Lake airport at 6:30am and we talked almost until 7:30. It was great to hear his voice! He sang Happy Birthday in Swedish to the twins, Eli and Avi, who turned 8 that day. He recited some Swedish scripture for us. He told us lots more about the MTC and was very, very excited to fly to Sweden.
We watched his flight all day on flight tracker.com. He flew to New York and then took a direct flight to Stockholm. The plane landed in Sweden just as we were going to bed Monday night. It was exciting to think about him landing, meeting his mission president and wife, and seeing Sweden for the first time. What an adventure!
Tuesday afternoon we received several emails from the mission home. It was a comfort to see Aldste Francis with the rest of his group at the Stockholm airport, in front of a beautiful lake, and with President and Sister Youngberg.
He likely left the mission home to his new area on Wednesday, by bus, train, plane, or mission van. We are anxious to hear where he went and who his trainer is! His first email should arrive on P-day next Monday.
