Arriving in South Africa

Elder LaHue flew to Durban, South Africa on Thursday, November 10th and late Friday, November 11th. Total traveling hours = 26.

Here is more info from Sis Thompson's mission blog.

Elder LaHue finally arrived after flying approximately 26 hours. His flight from Johannesburg to Durban was delayed by about three hours, which meant our office's Elder Wood made two trips to the airport to pick him up. We are finally glad to have him with us in Durban.

President Thompson got to take this Elder driving for the first time on the left side of the road! I admire these young men driving their first day. I got to do the orientation! Welcome Elder!

When our grandsons would come to have a sleepover, they would help grandpa make a full breakfast in the morning. We decided to carry over that tradition with the missionaries! President and the Elder's make pancakes, bacon, potatoes, scrambled eggs, and I made buttermilk syrup! Three of our Elders got a packed bag of food since they had to leave at 5:00 AM to get to their new areas.
