We are finally here! We arrived in Lisbon at 9:00am...a full 25 hours after leaving SLC. We are tired but excited also. Pres. and Sister Fluckiger met us at the airport and it was great to see familiar faces. They took us on a short sightseeing drive and then on to the mission home. The mission home is truly beautiful:very large, tiled floors, awesome grounds and views of the city and even a swimming pool. Don't expect any of this if you are considering a visit to see us!! We had a wonderful lunch with the Fluckiger's and two other couples who are serving in the area. We had our first interview with the Pres. and Larry was called to the mission presidency..so much for integrating slowly!! He will be awesome! We also got our car, phone and other needed items then packed up and headed for our area. Larry rode with Pres. Fluckiger and two young elders and Paula rode with Sister Fluckiger. At this point we had been 30 hours without sleep. We drove two hours south to the town of Beja. This is where we will be serving. Catch you all up on more later...Here we go!!
