Praise Be

Exerpt from her first email after arriving in England

A.      Praised Be the Lord for safe travels and His Spirit!
B.      Praise be to those who can sleep through flight turbulence. :P Because I can’t.

So! I’m here, IT IS BEAUTIFUL. I feel out of place because of the difference between Idaho desert and here, but I also feel at home because it actually reminds me a lot of Washington.

I’m understanding what being jet-lagged means: tired and light-headed headache. :P But I’m here and I’m safe and I love the sisters! There are about 6 sisters and about 20 elders. I met Elder Christensen, from Jackson Hole Wyoming, in Salt Lake but sat by a stranger on every flight. There are two other sisters and one elder so far that are also going to Scotland/Ireland. Entering with visas is about the most stressful thing ever. They asked for our call letter as “evidence” (?), and, of course, mine was the big suitcase I checked. They ended accepting one elder’s letter on behalf of the group. Basically I wish I just had been warned to have it on-hand. P-day is Wednesday here, so expect emails then.

I love it all already! Every body is kind and friendly, the country is beautiful, and the Spirit is great! I am having fun on P-day and I can’t wait to start classes
