Arrival to Argentina

She's there - safe and sound! We got the following email from her today:

Hola Mi Familia!

I made it! I am officially in my first area. My trainer´s name is Hermana Daniels from Utah and we are in the campo! We had to drive like an hour and a half to a small town where our area is with two other sisters in´t showered or really slept since I left the states but things are really good. The language is alright. I can understand some things so I feel that is at least a plus. We had a great day at the mission home where they took good care of us and we had some training and food. It was so nice to eat fresh food. Argentina feels a lot like the states. To answer Cali´s question no I have not been whistled at yet! :) This spanish keyboard is kind of hard to use though. My p-days are mondays so the next time that you hear from me will be then.

I just wanted to let you know that I am healthy and happy! The gospel is true and I am excited to share it. We are on our way to our first progressing investigators house!
Love you!

oh also i contacted and bore testimony to our cab driver... it was pretty good!

We've all thought about her like a million times the past couple of days and are glad to know that she's arrived safely and is ready to get to work. She called from the airport in Salt Lake. The Utah siblings debated hanging out at the airport to try to run into her, but we decided against it - since the Church discourages it and all. (It would have been so cool to see her though). She called Mom and Dad and they put her on speaker phone with cell phones laying around, so we all got to hear her and she sounds great. She's worried about the language, but it will come fast now that she has to speak and understand what people are saying to her.


We are so proud of her and are very excited for this new adventure!
