We have not yet heard from Elora since she arrived in Phoenix, but Todd just spoke with Elora's mission president! We have been very anxious to hear that she made it safely.
She made it to Phoenix yesterday a little delayed because her airplane had some mechanical issues. There were a lot of transfers yesterday as well as new missionaries and outgoing missionaries - so it was a little hectic. Her P-day will be on Mondays. She is in a car mission currently (great news!). The area she is serving in is Montana Del Sur (sp?).
He has two pieces of advice for anyone who corresponds with her:
1) Always send packages or letters to the mission home address in Glendale. They also request that we send everything USPS first class (not parcel post, UPS, Fedex etc). The secretary will re-send the items directly to Elora within a day of receiving it and this will lessen any confusion with transfers/address changes etc.
2) Don't communicate any distracting or worrisome information to Elora that will cause her to lose focus. Keep things positive and upbeat.
We are so pleased to know that she is in Phoenix and doing well. We were able to speak with her for a few minutes yesterday and she sounded great - and excited to finally be in the mission field.
