Erik got lucky. He got to see snow this winter, but was quickly able to fly above it all only to land in Chile less than 16 hours later. In Chile it is the beginning of summer so he will have much better temperatures than in Sandy!
His flight was scheduled at 1:55p.m. and left the snowy valley on time. He landed in Atlanta 3-1/2 hours later. He had 2-1/2 hours to find his next gate and catch a bite to eat. His flight from Atlanta to Chile was 9-1/2 hours. He flew through the night, lost 4 hours due to time changes and landed in Chile at 9:15 a.m.
He traveled with 5-6 other Elders and 1 Sister Missionary. They were all headed to the MTC in Chile, but not necessarily the same missions.
It was very hard to see him go! The last of three missionaries in 7 months to leave. No more kids at home for 11 more months when we get to welcome Erin home from Peru.
I guess we will spend the next 2 years writing letters and making sure our kids don't forget us!
