Hello Friends/Family,
If you're getting this e-mail, you're signed up to receive Lilly's emails as she serves on her mission. In case you aren't familiar with how this works, Lilly has just a short time once a week to email, probably Mondays, so she is going to send out one e-mail that I will forward to everyone.
She would love to hear from anyone who has a chance, but she may not be able to always respond to each individual e-mail. Her e-mail address is:
She arrived this morning after almost 20 hours en route. I will include the e-mail below. She will be in the training center in Guatemala for the next 4-6 weeks learning Spanish and medical information for the nursing she will be doing. Following that, she will go to Honduras for the remainder of her mission.
Also, if you are receiving these e-mails it is because you have had a positive impact in Lillian's life. She would not be the young woman she is if it weren't for all the lives that have helped shape her. Thank you so much for all you mean to her, and for your support of her. We are so excited for these next 18 months and how they will change both her and the people she serves. She is truly in the Lord's hands now as she shares His gospel to the people of Honduras.
Thanks again,
Bonnie Erickson (Lilly's mom)
Here is her e-mail from this morning:
Hola! I only have 5 minutes to write and the keyboard is kind of weird so...
I got here this morning at around 8:30! have had maybe 3 hours of sleep total but after this they are letting us sleep for a little bit. I had my interview done by a President Province who is an Area Medical Advisor and in the mission presidency, the mission president´s wife wanted him to interview me since she knew I was going to be the nurse. The flights were long but I was luckily able to have a window seat for all three flights! In LA I met up with like 20 elders and 4 other sister missionaries who are all coming to the Guatemala MTC! So we stuck together after that. And Dad, I don¨t know what you were talking about cuz customs went so fast! Like just put stuff in a scanner and voila!
Okay got to go!
Love you and miss you!!
