05-16-2019 - Medical Training in Salt Lake City

We finished our Missionary Medical Training on Thursday, May 16th! I’m so excited to be leaving for Atlanta in the morning. We are looking forward to meeting the Lloyds (who we will be replacing) and our mission president. We also are looking forward to singing in our ward choir. This choir may really rock!

We are sad to say goodbye to our new-found friends, but so happy to be on our way to serving our Savior and the missionaries in our assigned areas. 


We were blessed to spend our last evening in Utah with Justin and his family to say our final goodbyes.  We were also blessed to say our final goodbyes to Christian and Shelbie earlier in the week.  Christian was so good to bring my sewing machine from home. I had an impression that I may need it in Atlanta.
