Well she's off! Sister Merrill is now in the beautiful land of New Zealand. It was hard saying goodbye to my best friend yesterday at the airport, but she is doing something that is very important so I couldn't be happier for her.
I spoke with my mom at lunch today. She was telling me that Emily was landing in about 30 minutes (from the time we were talking) and I asked, "Well what is she going to do until tomorrow when she needs to report to the MTC?" My mom then told me that it already is tomorrow there! New Zealand is 19 hours ahead of us so it is currently Thursday, November 7th. My mind was blown! It only took one night for her to get there and she completely skipped Wednesday...WHAT?! She is proof that time travel is real! Crazy stuff. I'm so excited for her though. We got an email from her and she was just telling us how tired she was from the trip but that she got there safe and sound.
I couldn't be more proud of a sister! Good luck Sister Merrill!
