Traveling to Argentina

Mike left the MTC and flew out of the Salt Lake City Airport with out any problems.  He arrived in Atlanta, Georgia on time and waited for his flight to Argentina.  He was able to call home while waiting in Atlanta and we talked for maybe 15 to 20 minutes.  Mike expressed his excitement to finally be able to get out into the field and put into practice the things that he had learned in the MTC.  He was also nervous about leaving the States and going to a place that he had never been.  The fear of the unknown left butterflies in his stomach.  The flight ended up being delayed about 3 hours.  That is a long time to wait when you are nervous and excited to get going. When I went to bed at 10:30 p.m. on March 21st his plane had just taken off on the long flight to Argentina.   When I got up the next morning, I logged onto the airline and was able to track his plane until it landed about an hour later.  It was a long night for Mike and the other missionaries traveling with him.  They were finally there safe and sound and now the fun and hard work was about to begin.
