She is in the States!

Emily called about 6:45 a.m. to let us know she was in Dallas. So it looks like she will be in SLC at the scheduled time. Airline: AMERICAN AIRLINES AA604 Leaving date: 17 JUNFrom: DALLAS TX at 12:05 p.m. Arriving: SALT LAKE C, UT at 1:40 p.m. Gate A3 I know there will be lots of missionaries coming home from Argentina. So we may be hard to find.

On Her Way Home Finally!

Emily wrote that they were leaving early this morning. She neglected to tell where she was going and how. But we will assume that they made it to Santiago. The flight was on time into Dallas at 6:11 a.m. on Friday, June 17th. (as of 11:30 p.m.) Anticipated time of arrival in Salt Lake City is expected to remain the same. I will check first thing in the morning to see if she sent out any messages when she lands. We will call the travel department to make sure that the missionaries made it onto this flight.

NEW ITINERARY

Emily sent an email saying that they would not be leaving until Saturday and coming in late Sunday. But an hour later we received her new itinerary. Parts of this letter are below: The missionaries will be traveling to Santiago Chile tomorrow (Thursday) and they will travel from Santiago to the United States. This is the new itinerary. Airline: AMERICAN AIRLINES AA940 Leaving date: 16 JUN From: SANTIAGO, Chile at 8:50 p.m. Arriving: DALLAS TX at 6:05 a.m. Airline: AMERICAN AIRLINES AA604 Leaving date: 17 JUN From: DALLAS TX at 12:05 p.m. Arriving: SALT LAKE C, UT at 1:40 p.m. We think they are sending them by bus to Santiago. I am curious about the volcano ash in Santiago, but they seem to think they can do it. If you are thinking about coming to the airport, please check here to make sure she has made it out of Santiago on Thursday night. At that point, she is on her way home and it should be okay. I will make sure to post it as soon as American Airlines verifies that the flig

DELAYED BY A VOLCANO!!!

Yes, you read that right. Emily's flight has been delayed by a volcano. Let me explain. Last week, a volcano in Chile erupted spewing tons of ash in the air. The ash has reached Buenos Aires and is making it difficult for planes to take off. She is in a hotel in Buenos Aires with other missionaries on their ways home. She will call me as soon as she knows when she is flying out. We are all bummed. Anyone who still wants to come to the airport, please call me at 208-705-6090 and I will put you on the call list.

A VOLCANO ERUPTED!!!!!!!!!

THIS WEEK WE HAVE A MIRACLE BAPTISM!!! And we're excited. He's been a tough cookie. He's the husband of an ex-missionary and has been investigating for the past twelve years, and now he feels is the time to put his family together. That's his main reason. He's a good husband and father, and wants that family unity, and that's a big push for him. He will get his confirmation as he works and learns in the gospel. His son just turned 14, so we think that his son will be able to baptize him. BUT his family still doesn't know! That's okay, a sweet little surprise for his family on Saturday. This weekend is stake conference. We're getting a special satellite broadcast from Salt Lake. A baptism for stake conference. A baptism for my last week. That makes my little heart sing. We've been working more and more with members this past week. We had 13 lessons with members, when we struggle to get 7! We're involving members more and more and we've bee

Letter from the Mission President

Dear Family Georgeson Your daughter, Sister Emily Rose Georgeson, will complete her missionary assignment in the Argentina Neuquén Mission on June 14, 2011. We have greatly enjoyed having Sister Georgeson in our mission and appreciate more than you will ever know your willingness to share her with us and with the wonderful people of the Patagonia. Sister Georgeson has served a most successful mission as an obedient, caring missionary. You can be justly proud of her and her accomplishments. She is returning home with a strong testimony of the Savior and the spiritual strength that comes from having served Him faithfully. We feel confident she will continue a life of activity in the Church. We encourage you to give her ample opportunity to share her testimony and missionary experiences. Please recognize that adjustment is a difficult process for all returned missionaries and Sister Georgeson will need your continued love, support and understanding. Give her encouragement in making so

May 30: I got my super trunky papers today.

Get to feeling better! I won't let you get me sick :) Really. I'm sorry that you had to miss Barrett's graduation. But at least I'm not alone in missing out on everything. Did Barrett's graduating class do anything fun for graduation? I got my super trunky papers today. AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! No gracias! Hna. Bundy says that the MTC is for the new missionaries to de-worldatize themselves. There should be something like that for returning missionaries. Between the freak out of finishing and having to sign up for classes at BYU-I, I'm starting to hate my internet time. I tried signing up for classes but it won't let me. I want to say ENOUGH! Trust the Lord shall be my motto, because it's totally out of my hands now. Okay. This week has been kind of a shocker. One of my converts, who everyone thought was doing really well stopped coming to church and began going to her old church. I have to call her because I haven't seen her in a long while.

Letter from the Mission President's wife

Brother and Sister Georgeson, I just wanted to send a quick note and tell you how much we love Hermana Georgeson. She is so positive and so kind to everyone. She is such a wonderful missionary and has served so faithfully and with all her heart. Her beautiful singing voice has invited the spirit to be with us in many zone conferences as she has shared her wonderful talent. It will be hard to see her leave in a few weeks but we know that she is going to continue to be a missionary throughout her life. Thank you for teaching her so well. Love, Hermana Peterson

May 23: ¡WOW MOM!

¡WOW MOM! I love saying that because if you print this out and flip the page upside down, it says the same thing! How cool and ingenious is that! Pero en serio! Crazy stuff! Sweet laptops, hijacked Internet stuffs, your bebito growing up, your other bebito apparently growing younger. The world has gone upside down crazy just like my ¡WOW MOM! Whoa. I hope you feel better, you must take care of yourself- drink water, drink tea, drink air, whatever you can get your hands on! I keep thinking that you're all in winter because it's turned freakishly cold here, but alas, these are summer bugs. Here you bundle yourself up more and drink tea. Mmm, tea... Don't contaminate! :) How's Papito doing? I haven't heard from him in a little while. I imagine it's crazy with Barrett graduating. Scream extra loud for me!!! This week has been fairly calm. It's gotten a lot colder. It snowed a little bit. Now that it's colder the snow isn't melting in the hills round abou

May 17th: AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

NOW I get the message from Janelle :) Just kidding! Let her know I think about her too and I loooove her! Kristin is married!!!!!!!!! Rhawnie is pregnant!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Por qué el mundo sigue tan rápido???? Ré loco!!! Anyway, zone conference yesterday! Bittersweet because it's my last! But it was great. We listened to the talk from Elder Oaks about desires, because in reality, everything has to do with our desires. It blows my mind away! The thing that I loved the most was when president showed a talk given by Elder Holland in the MTC in January this year. It made all of us think. It stirs up tiernos sentimientos upon thinking about this moment. I must say it again, I loooove being companions with Hna. Bundy. Ella es un pan de Dios! Really, she's a sweetheart, a hard worker, and a motivated missionary. She has patience and confidence in me. She's helped me a lot in these two short weeks. I know that Alto 1 will be in good hands when I go. She never
