               Sierra Arrived in Knoxville, Tennessee!

They have ALL Arrived!  All missionaries arrived safe and sound, although a little tired.  They are excited, as are we, to be here in the Tennessee Knoxville Mission!  They are at the mission home having dinner together and having personal interviews with President Griffin tonight.  Tomorrow they will start at 9:00 a.m. with Orientation and then they will meet their new Trainers.  From there they go right into Transfer/Testimony Meeting. Then, off they go to their new area and will be teaching by Wednesday night!  Below is a picture of all our new missionaries on the deck of our mission office.

Reassignment!


As I was shopping at Wal-mart, I received a phone call from my Stake President and he asked if I was sitting down and that I might want to be. My first thought was that my mission application was denied. He then continued to inform me that Salt lake city had reassigned me to some place other than Sao Paulo Brazil. Can you guess where?! KNOXVILLE TENNESSEE! I get to leave in TWO WEEKS on the 21st! Five days before my 21st birthday! SO STOKED!!! Alrighty Knoxville, TN...HERE I COME!!! (Brazil wardrobe to cold weather wardrobe. haha) I'm so ready!!!! I will be serving for the remainder of my mission = 14 months!
