We left from the MTC - Provo, UT to St. George, UT to see our two kids (April Davis & Christina Wilson) and their families. We pulled our Scion car on a trailer behind our truck. We stayed with April, Jon, Paisley, and Stella, and saw Christina, Brian, and Eli. This was our Christmas before Christmas.
On Monday (Dec. 14, 2015) we traveled through Las Vegas and on to Interstate 40 to Flagstaff, AZ, where it started to snow.
On Tuesday (Dec. 15) we drove from Holbrook, AZ, to Amarillo, TX, where it finally stopped snowing. The next day Wednesday (Dec. 16) drove to visit Tom's Mother (Lucy Clark) in Dallas/Ft. Worth, TX. We enjoyed visiting with Mom and spent the night.
On to McAllen on Thursday (Dec. 17). We arrived in the evening at McAllen and met some of the Senior Missionaries that had waited for our arrival. We arrived when it was dark and received our apartment key from them and then stayed the night in McAllen, about 1 hour away from our assignment in Harlingen, TX.
After arriving in Harlingen (Friday, Dec. 18), we dropped off our U-haul trailer and drove both vehicles to our apartment. We contacted the younger Elder missionaries in the area and four of them showed up and helped us move and unpack into out nice two bedroom apartment. After the move, we took the Elders to Whataburger for burgers and shakes.
Great to hear about your journey to the mission field!
