On Monday I got a text of the first picture with the description "Elder Pace is ready and excited to go!" Later we got to talk with Tyson at the airport and he explained the person taking the picture was Hermana Bahr, one of Brittany's MTC companions! She was on the train going from Utah County up to Temple Square and saw his "Pace" name tag and asked if he by chance knew Brittany! He said he also discovered on the train one of the sisters from his zone that was also leaving is best friends with Hermana Greer, Brittany's other MTC companion! What a ridiculously small world!
Then this morning we received an email from President Turvey letting us know they arrived safely with pictures of he and Elder Peck and then with he and his new trainer, Elder Buckhoff!
Elder Buckhoff already reached out to Tyson in the MTC so I'm grateful he will be his trainer. I think they will get along great. Elder Rhea will be training ground Elder Peck (we met up with his mom over the summer) and I think he will be in good hands too!
Sister Nettleship (a wife of a member of the Sheffield Branch presidency) said on Facebook that she's feeding the missionaries on Thursday and it was good to know she would be feeding six instead of four because she doubts they would think to tell her! :)
It is amazing how interconnected I am already with Tyson's mission due to Facebook!
