Goodbye MTC, Hello Washington!

Today was a BIG DAY! Sister McKnight packed up and left the MTC for the Mission Field. She was able to call us from the Airport before boarding the plane for Washington. It was good to talk to her. She was nervous with all of the airport firsts (she has never flown before) but sounded GREAT! A few minutes later we were sent the following text message and picture:

They are looking great and about to head out of SL airport to our home mission!! Hopefully we are able to meet them again there and send you another pic during their mission!!

Yes, she was the only Sister heading to Washington today. We know she arrived safely because we received the following text message. 

They just landed safely in Tri-Cities. They were met by Pres and Sis White and the APs. Washington/Oregon will treat them well!! Merry Christmas!

Then we received the following email and pictures from the Mission Office:

Just a note to let you know that Sister McKnight has arrived safely at the Washington Kennewick Mission.  The picture is with President and Sister White and with the other 3 missionaries who arrived today also.  We are excited to get to know her.  This is a great place to serve as a missionary and I know she will learn to love her mission as we learn to love her.
