Looks Like He Made It!

We got a card from Justin today. He said his flight was alright and that he arrived in Queens safely. (The mission home is in Elhurst, Queens, NY). It was a very brief card, not many details. He only said that President Bennion already had them out telling people about the church the afternoon he got there. I don't know anything about where his first area is or about his companion. When I get more details, I'll pass them on.

Justin flew to New York, Monday March 17th. Happy St. Patricks Day! He had to be up at 2:30 a.m. to leave the MTC at 4:00 a.m. He called home at 6:00 a.m. and we were able to talk to him for 40 minutues. His plane left at 7:10 and he had a 40 minute layover in Atlanta and then touched down in The Big Apple at 3:57 p.m. He's been there 4 days and we haven't heard from him. I'm not sure when his P.day is but I'm sure we'll be hearing from him shortly. He's probably been busy getting settled into big city life. NYC is a huge change for our Idaho Boy!

Elder Maughan and Elder Long

Justin and Trevor went to high school together and ended up at the MTC together. Trevor was called to serve in the New York Utica Mission and he left the MTC a week ahead of Justin. Trevor and Justin ate together Justin's first night at the MTC. Thanks Trevor!
