Week 3: Oklahoma

Kyle flew out to Oklahoma yesterday. We got to talk to him for a few minutes before he left. He absolutely loved the MTC experience. He had a great companion and they worked hard together. He is hoping he and Elder Riley will get the opportunity to serve together in Oklahoma too.

He emailed yesterday to let us know that he arrived safely. He flew out with 27 missionaries. That is a big group! He loves the missionaries he will be serving with and his new mission president and his family. We have heard wonderful things about President and Sister Mansell. They fed them pizza, helped them to get settled and start to feel at home.

We won't know for sure where he is serving until we hear from him on his next P-day which Monday but we are excited to see where he is going.

Don't worry about being homesick. Don't worry about being new. Don't worry about the language. None of that matters. God loves you. This is the truth. You can do it. Start fast. Run hard. You can rest later!
