Lizzie's in Seattle!

We just received the letter that Liz wrote on Tuesday, May 5, the day she arrived in Seattle:

"I’m sitting in the mission home :) The flight was great . . . a little turbulent at the end, but just fine. So now I’m just excited to be in beautiful Seattle! It is GORGEOUS, very green, very wet. Pres. & Sis. Moffat and the Assistants were waiting for us at the airport. They are great! Very nice, very welcoming. It was fun to get a hug from Sis. Moffat after hugging was outlawed at the MTC due to the swine flu. We’re having lunch here at the mission home, then having some orientation, I think, and then meeting our trainers. The President said we’ll be teaching this evening! I’m excited. Sis. Moffat told me I’d love my trainer—she said we were the same type of people, meaning happy and smiley I think—so I’m really excited! There are no sisters in the city right now, just in the country down south. There are 8 English sisters turns out, but one is switching to Spanish, so I won’t be in a 3-some (so now w/me there’s 8 again). So yeah, I’m a real missionary now!!"
