It was important to Elder Gooden to be very obedient. So when his instructions were to arrive at the airport 3 hours before his flight . . . that's what we did! We got to Harrisburg Airport at 3:00 am. 2 large suitcases and 2 carry-ons in toe.
We ended up getting there before the airport was even open.
After he was all checked in we played a few more rounds of cards and took a few more family pictures. Said our goodbyes . . .
Here's the final leg of the trip Elder Gooden took into Mexico City.
In Atlanta he met up with another missionary headed to the Mexico City MTC and another member of our church. The other member was kind enough to send us a text message along with a picture of Elder Gooden. It was so good to see his face and know he was well on his way!
And then we got the first email! So grateful he is safe and where he's supposed to be.
Hey guys, I`have made it.
I am going to apologize now if my emails sound choppy, i am still trying to figure out the Spanish keyboard and do not know how to contract words yet. My flight was good. I was able to sleep most of the way. I do not really have much to report besides that though. I have gotten my name tags and mission handbook. i also have a general idea about how the MTC will go. The bad new is that i will not have any pictures to send until next week. I was not able to take any pictures today, and i am only allowed to take pictures on my P-days here. I just got here and have not even met my companion yet. Some important information though, my P-days while at the MTC will be every Wednesday starting next week. one thing to look forward to though, I ran into one elder on my flight from Atlanta as well as a member who spotted us as missionaries. If you have not already received it, you will soon have photographic proof that i survived the flight to Mexico. Sorry that this email seems a little empty, but it is only one day, and not a very eventful one at that.
Love
Elder Gooden
