Dear Brother and Sister Miller,

 

Sister Miller will be released from her mission on Tuesday, April 6^th.  The Church Travel Department will arrange for her flight home.  Please reply to this email and let me know to which airport you would like her to fly.  One month prior to her departure, and after I receive the airport information from parents of all the missionaries traveling on that date, I will request her travel.   When I receive the itinerary, I will email it to you. 

If you are considering picking her up at the Mission Office, please let me know and I will send you the “Parent pick-up” instruction letter from President Andrews.  I will still need the name of your closest major airport because the Church Travel Department will give her a check in the amount of what the flight would cost. 

I’m sure you are anxiously anticipating your daughter’s return home.  We have been very blessed to have Sister Miller serving here in the Arizona Mesa Mission, even for just this short while.  She is such a special young woman and missionary and we’ll really miss her. 

I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Sister Pierce- 

Arizona Mesa Mission Travel & Referral Secretary (480) 500-5422

Hi Sister Pierce

This email makes my heart sing and sink at the same time.  I know that Sadie is feeling the same mixed emotions as April approaches.  What a blessing this experience has been for her- Thank you for your watchfulness over her.  

As far as her flight home, if she could please fly to the BOISE AIRPORT in IDAHO, that is where we will pick her up.  Thank you for coordinating all fo this.  It's hard to believe it's time to start figuring out these details.  I'll watch for more details from you in my email.

Many prayers!

Sister Holly Miller
