Arrived in Houston!

Elder Blackburn had to get up at 1AM Monday morning in order to be ready and at the airport by 4:30AM.  He called us around 5:15AM - it was great to talk to him for several minutes and hear the excitement in his voice. Being a man of few words... he was quickly off and on his way!

Below is an email we received from his mission with pictures.

Your Missionary has arrived safely to T.H.E. Mission! Upon arrival we met your missionary at the airport.  They went to the church, had lunch and focused on training and interviews were conducted by President Drake. After which they met their new companion and were transported to their area of service. They are now out diligently searching for our Heavenly Father's children and doing the work of the Lord. Thank you for sending your daughter and sons to us, they have added great strength to our small army here in the Texas Houston East Mission. We love them and are so grateful to have them with us. You will find attached a picture of your newly arrived missionary with Sister Drake and myself as well as their arriving group and Trainer.
