Ian left for San Francisco last Wednesday, Oct. 6. We got an early-morning call from the airport as he was waiting for his flight all by himself (most likely the last time for two years). He was excited to be on his way.
We have since talked to the Mission Office and also got a report from his Aunt Annette who was at a meeting where she asked the missionaries if they had met him, yet. According to both reports, he jumped right into the middle of the Mandarin-speaking missionaries without hestitation. He was picked up from the airport and taken directly to a zone conference for the day. His trainer is Elder Liu who is a native Mandarin speaker. The sister in the office told us Ian will be using public transportation (mostly buses) in his first area so he won't need a bike right away.
His first letter from the field will arrive tomorrow. Stay tuned!
