The First Letter, 9/19/06

Hi everyone,
just a quick note to let we know we made it. It was a short night. We were
late leaving New York so it was 10 o'clock before we ate dinner and the next
thing I knew, the lights went on in the plane and it was time for a breakfast
snack. It was 7 o'clock but my watch said 2 o'clock.

We've been in some meetings with the assistants to the president. Our mission
president is out on zone conferences so we won't meet him until Thursday. Dad
and I both went to sleep during the closing prayer of our meeting just now. How embarrassing! Some way to make a good first impression, huh. This place is beautiful and green. The elders are taking us to our apartment so we can get some sleep. We'll write more when we know more and are a bit more alert.

Camille, will you forward this to the rest of the family. I don't have time to
look up all the addresses.
Love you all,
Mom
