Elder Sork has arrived!

We got word today from the Joao Pessoa Mission's executive secretary that Elder Sork has arrived to the mission home safe and sound.  Included with this short communication was this picture with his Mission President and the President's wife:

He is smiling - that is a good sign.  We probably will not hear from him for at least a week.  I am extremely anxious to hear about his new area, his training companion and how his travels went.  Eric and I met a friend while in Hawaii from Joao Pessoa.  He is the nicest guy.  We found him working at a Brazilian food truck.  He is here to surf the big waves for a few months before he returns home.  The food truck is his part time job.  He goes back to Joao Pessoa in February.  We told him to keep an eye out for Carson when he goes back and if he sees any young men in white shirts and ties to be nice to them and listen to what they have to say.  He recorded the following video message for us welcoming Carson to his country:

We had traveled to this food truck in honor of Carson's first day in the mission field - what a small world!
