We are happy to let you know that your missionary arrived safely in Lyon this afternoon. The missionaries were met at the airport by President and Sister Giraud-Carrier then taken to the mission office to drop off luggage and enjoy a bag lunch with an authentic French baguette sandwich. They will have an individual interview with President Giraud-Carrier and visit with Sister Giraud-Carrier. Dinner will be with the Giraud-Carrier family at the Mission Home. Tonight they will stay in Lyon. Tomorrow they will receive instruction from President Giraud-Carrier and the Assistants to the President, visit the mission office and complete some paper work. They will also meet their new companions. Those from Europe will go to their first area. Those from North America will have chest x-rays which is a requirement for legality here in France and will stay in Lyon one more day to complete the rest of their legality requirements. They will then head to their sectors.
Your missionary will share with you soon where they are serving and who their trainer is. Thank you for sending us such fine missionaries. We will take good care of them.

(note from Mom, we did get to talk with her while she was at the airport and while she was excited to get to France, she was really sad to leave her MTC district because they had developed such a bond and wouldn't likely see each other again any time soon if at all because they were headed all over the world.)
