We got up this morning and took Carrie to the airport and said goodbye to her there. Her grandparents picked her up in Salt Lake City.
This is the MTC, or Mission Training Center. She will be there for about 6 weeks learning Portuguese and hoping her visa arrives so she can then leave for Brazil. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has several in different parts of the world. Since she didn't have her visa, she will get her language and religious training at this one in Provo, Utah. We think she will be a great missionary. She will be gone 18 months and will only be able to call home 3 times (2 Christmases and one mother's day.)
Good bye Carrie, we are proud of you and good wishes to you!
She will be such a great missionary for these 18 months and beyond! We'll be praying for her. =)
ReplyDeleteWe love you Carrie and are so very proud of you! As Sister Ortega says, "Sister Missionaries Rock!" I have no doubt that you will be an awesome representative of our Savior.
