Sam is in Brazil!

Sam flew to Brazil Monday morning (Feb 13). His flight went from Salt Lake City to Atlanta, Atlanta to Sao Paolo, and Sao Paolo to Salvador. We were able to talk to him while he waited for his flights. Sam sounds great and was excited and a little nervous to finally get to Brazil and his mission field.

In the Salt Lake Airport, Sam saw Barry Smith from our home ward, and ran into a few friends, Jake Dobecki, Brett Binford, and Kyle Van Noy!

His flight to Sao Paolo landed Tuesday morning at 4am (our time).

We finally heard this morning (Thursday) that he had arrived in Salvador in one piece! Short and sweet, but all we needed to hear.

"Hello,

Elder Prince arrived safely and excited to be here in the Brazil Salvador South Mission. His companion is Elder Cruz and they are both very excited to be serving the Lord!

Thank you,

Obrigado,

Elder High

Secretário Assistente

Missão Brasil Salvador Sul"
