She Made It!

After 3 flights, 22 hours in the air, two layovers, and 30 hours of total travel time, Sister Talbot made it to Perth.  Yes, it really does feel like the she is at the end of the earth.  Okay, maybe she doesn't feel that way, but her parents sure do.  We can't wait to hear from her this weekend.  But in the meantime, we received an email from her Mission President, President Fife, along with some pictures.

Among the notes, we found out that Sister Talbot was assigned to labor with her trainer, Sister Perkins, in the Currambine Area in the North Coast Stake.  This area is North of Perth.  President Fife said the following about Sister Talbot and her companion:

"Sister Perkins is a strong and faithful missionary.  She will play a vital role in the adjustments and training process your daughter will go through.  We encourage you to pray for her success and happiness and to write letters of encouragement and support."

He continued by saying, "It is our privilege to have Sister Talbot with us.  It is a great trust that you and Heavenly Father have placed in us to assist her in realizing her full potential as a servant of God.  We will assist in every opportunity to help her grow in the gospel, to bless others and to invite all to come unto Christ.  She will truly be an instrument in the hands of the Lord."

We were thrilled to receive this letter and pictures.  Now the work begins!
