A little delayed, but she made it!

Thought you might enjoy this picture of Carlee as she arrived in Argentina. She had an interesting day on Monday - she made it to the airport and got to call family and chat, then found out that her plane to Georgia was delayed. Since they only had a 1 hour layover before their connecting flight to Argentina, they packed them back up and to return to the MTC to try it all again on Tuesday. While sitting at the airport waiting for her delayed flight she got to meet Elder Richard G. Scott, so it wasn't too bad of an experience! The good news was that she was able to call and talk to a few of her siblings (Dani and Dee to wish them happy birthday) and that is how we even got the story. They were flying with 30 missionaries to Argentina - so their presence was felt and she had some good discussions with people at the airport and on the plane.


Here are a few of her words:


Don´t worry about it. I made it. Despite one day delay, the ten hour flight didn´t kill me either. So that´s good news. The better news is that I still can call on Sunday.

Thanks! Get excited. Argentina is great. What I´ve seen of it anyways. I´ll talk to you on Sunday!

This is from the Mission Pres and Wife:


Dear Reed Family,


We are so thankful to have Sister Reed with us. She arrived safely this morning and is doing wonderful. We are so excited for this great opportunity we have together to serve the Lord. Your Daughter was able to meet her trainer, and we all ate lunch together here in the mission home. They will be working together in their new area later this evening. Your daughter will be communicating with you within the week on her preparation day.


We love you,

President and Sister Gulbrandsen
