Michael arrived in Colorado on Wednesday, September 23rd. We got to talk to him from the SLC airport for a few minutes. He sounded excited and had a peaceful confidence that was wonderful to experience. Eric (Dad) called the mission home to verify the arrival of Michael's bike. He got to talk to Sister Christison, the Mission President's wife, for a few minutes. We know that Michael is in Craig and Meeker area; small towns in NW Colorado. It is a high-desert terrain, nationally renowned for big game hunting, has a variety of outdoor sports and cowboys are abundant. Michael's companion is Elder Gealta. He is known to be the #1 baptizing missionary in the mission. Sister Christison told Eric that Michael couldn't ask for a better companion. He will work hard and have much success.
