Carly arrived in New Zealand!

After spending many weeks at the MTC, Carly has made it to New Zealand! She had 16 hours of travel and we received a letter from her Mission President along with this photo to confirm her arrival.

We were so relieved to receive this "proof of life"!

It's interesting that since Carly entered the MTC, a lot of my personal life now revolves around what she's doing.  I'm thinking about her, sending her things, emailing, posting on Social Media or updating the Mission Blog I created for her letters.  Her good friend, Eric Webb, is also on a mission, so I'm doing some of those things for her as well!  (Here's a pre-mission photo of them from our photo shoot):

Erica is like a sister to Carly!  I'm happy that they can share this experience together even though they are serving in different countries!

Here is the Mission Blog I set up for Carly's correspondence:
