Hello Kentucky!

Elder Mattinson arrived safe and sound in Louisville, Kentucky on Monday November 28th!  I had a quick 90 second call from him at the Atlanta Airport.  No payphones means a quick call from someone's desk phone.  We were surprised and relieved to get another quick call from the mission home on Monday night.  It was so good to hear his voice!!

Right after the call from the Atlanta Airport I received this picture along with a text that said, "Saw these handsome Elders in the Atlanta airport.  They send their love!"  Yes, lots of tears were shed!

We had a sweet email from President and Sister Brough this morning.  Elder Mattinson is with his trainer and his P-Day will be on Monday.  They also sent pictures of him with his mission president and wife and with his trainer.  I'm so grateful for technology!  These pictures and messages really help to calm a mother's heart!

One last picture!  This came from a Missionary Moms Facebook page.  These are some of the new elders being trained in the mission home Monday afternoon.  Tender mercies!
