There he goes...


On June 18, 2014 @ 11:05am, Jeffrey boarded an airplane (his first ever) headed for Atlanta, GA.  He had about 4 hours to figure out where to catch his next flight headed to Buenos Aires, Argentina.  He was supposed to call from Atlanta but he couldn't find a pay phone!  Can you believe that?  I guess since everyone has a cell phone now days, who uses pay phones anymore?  Everyone, except our missionaries! 

Dave and I were worried and thought of every possible issue that could have come up, like, he got lost, he didn't make his connecting flight, he got sick (he wasn't feeling well when he left), and everything imaginable!  Not much sleep that night for us : )

Thank goodness, in the morning, there was an email from him saying he'd made it to Argentina.  What a relief!  

His (very short) email is here:

"well hello there. im so sorry i didn't call you from Atlanta. believe it or not there are no pay phones in the Atlanta airport. but im here in buenos aires. the temple here is so beautiful but its so weird here. i only ave a little bit of time but ill write more as soon as i can."

love elder petersen
