I'm Here!

We knew Emily was leaving the MTC yesterday so all day I was hoping for some sort of message from Emily or from her mission president letting us know she'd arrived safely and was getting settled in at Temple Square. But you can only refresh your email inbox so many times without going straight up crazy so I stopped checking and went to bed. Look what was waiting for me this morning!

Hey guys, I'm finally in the mission field! They wanted me to email and tell you that I was alive. Today was a crazy day. You'll hear all about it in the letter that will be sent to you pretty shortly. But really quickly, I know how to handle three suitcases, I've moved enough times. But three suitcases in the snow and slush does not mix well. I'm glad for nice people who saw all 15-30 of us sisters struggling to the train and everything and helped us. Tender mercies yo. 

Sister Moran and Sister Greenall on the train to Salt Lake. I love this picture because she looks like my sister Megan here!

I'm glad Abby decided that she needs to see a therapist, I think that should probably help her. Nat is the best. I'm glad that she is so comfortable being herself and I want to be that way one day. I'm sure the sugar cookies are great! CONGRATS TO DAD AGAIN WHOOP WHOOP!!! I'm glad that your job is easy mama, I hope it gets more fun soon! Send pics of the new bedroom! That's crazy about the Romanians, I'm glad nothing happened.  

I'm getting all settled in here with my new companion. Her name is sister Broadbent and she's really sweet! She's from Missouri. The flags they gave me are the British flag which is too funny. I think pday is on Wednesday and I only get two hours to email so I can't respond all day like I used to be able to but its all good. President Fisher is the coolest! I think this mission is going to be so fun, no joke. Apparently, our first assignment is the west gate which is like the controls center and if things don't work there, then nothing works so no pressure or anything. I cried when Sister Greenall left me, no joke. But her companion seems perfect for her so it's okay. Also that online convo you saw a pic of was a real conversation I had with someone... oh the joy. I tried not to take it personally but it was still a shock to read. 

They made it to Temple Square!

Okay, that's about all for this email I think, just know that I love you and I miss you so much!! I'll do my best to stay warm in this crazy amount of snow that dumped on Salt Lake (the most in ten years?!) I LOVE YOU AND I'LL EMAIL YOU SOON!! 

Love,

Sister Moran (who is now a real official missionary in the field!!)
