Week 3

 We are happy to report that Elder Rasmussen has safely landed in Zimbabwe! He arrived around 9:15 pm on March 13th after nearly 24 hours of travel. We were so excited to get a call from him on Monday morning from the Denver airport during his first layover. It was so good catching up and hearing his voice.  He was so excited and a (little nervous) to be on his way! A sweet lady named Frana took this picture of him and his travel companions while there at the airport just before his call home. We were able to talk to him one last time just before getting on the plane in DC.

We found a website, thanks to our Pilot daughter, that tracked his flights while en route from SLC to Denver, from Denver to Washington DC, from DC to Ghana. Then from Ghana to Johannesburg and then to Harare, Zimbabwe. It was fun to watch and know where he was at, how high the plane was flying and how fast they were going and that he had landed safely.

We recieved an email from the Harare Mission Secretary this morning to let us know he had safely landed and that he would be training in the mission home and then he would be traveling to his assigned area the following day. Soon we will know where he will be.

We can't wait to hear more from him.
