To the Mexico City Missionary Training Center

Tuesday, August 27, 2013

Getting anywhere from Spokane involves getting to the airport early! The flight left Spokane at 5:45 AM. Three airplanes later and a lot of hours she arrived at the Mexico City MTC. 

To the Security Checkpoint in the Spokane (GEG) Airport

Hey mom and dad!
I am in Mexico in the actual MTC! the flight was so cool! I had no idea that Houston Texas actually had trees! it was super green and we actually flew over the Temple there!
The traffic in Mexico city is crazy busy it totally reminded me of China! And all the buildings were actually bright colors. and the graffiti is beautiful!
My flights were really uneventful but I am really glad that I had the Ensign. It kept me really busy.
There was another sister and two elders on my flight from Huston to Mexico! Sister Howton is actually my companion and we are both going to Little Rock Arkansas! How cool is that!
Anyways, I am here safe and sound. I had really great flights and I had window seats for two of them!
I love you both so much thanks for waking up super early to take me to the airport! I miss you but I am super happy! :D
Love you!
Michaela the coolest hermana here!

Last Sunday in Spokane

Sunday August 25, 2013
Much appreciation in our hearts to all those who came to hear Michaela speak.  
Later that evening we had an open house and again were overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support.  She has had many great examples and leaders throughout the years.  Thank you, thank you for your dedication and love.

Getting the Call

On April 4th, 2013, Michaela received her mission call. (She does a very good impression of a ping-pong ball!)

Michaela was called to serve in the Arkansas (Ar-can-saw) Little Rock Mission. SPANISH speaking!
She reports to the MTC in Mexico City on August 28th, 2013.
