Skye left the MTC Monday morning the 22nd of May. She said all of them loved their time there, were glad to finally leave the limited campus they had called home for the last 6 weeks. She successfully juggled her 2 huge bright blue hardtop suitcases, a carry-on and a back pack on the bus, to the TRAX train, to the airport shuttle, and to the airline drop off. Flight plans indicated a long layover in Atlanta, Georgia before heading to Resistencia, Argentina. She called us from the SLC airport Monday afternoon about 1:15PM. The calling card wasn't working, so a nice lady who was there picking her daughter up from her mission offered her phone. Then we spoke with Skye again once she arrived in Georgia about 6 PM. There were no payphone there so an airport worker offered her phone. At each stop along the way she had to say goodbye to friends in her MTC district - and that was hard. Particularly her companion Sister Dixon who will be serving in a different mission in Argentina.
When she arrived in Argentina they had to drive to a different airport and wait all day for another flight to Resistencia. There, she met up with other missionaries going to her mission who were from Paraguay, Colombia, and Argentina. No one in the new group spoke English. After arriving in Resistencia, they stayed at a hotel for the night and were served Empenadas which she loved cause she was starving. The next day they went to the mission home and met President and Sister Franco, and her first companion/trainer, and got her assignment. They were sent to open a new area. I will hear from her on her P-day but I'm sure she had more travel ahead of her as Formosa is about 2 1/2 hours north of the mission home. Viva la autobus!
Trainer: Sister Allred from Syracuse, Utah
Area: Puerto II in Formosa (far North bordering Paraguay)
