Elder Blotter arrives safely in Osorno with other new Missionaries

As you can see from several pictures just posted, Elder Blotter has arrived safely in Osorno with his group of new missionaries. They arrived around 4:00 pm on Wednesday afternoon after a long overnight flight out of Dallas to Santiago on Tuesday night. He called us from the airport in Dallas to tell us their flight was delayed a couple of hours. They were supposed to leave around 8:30 but ended up leaving after 11:00 that evening. They had about a 6 hour layover in Santiago before their flight to Osorno, which we assume was on time. They all look pretty good for young men that spent the last 24 hours on airplanes in suits. We are looking forward to hearing about his travel adventures when he writes us on his first Prep Day. The Mission blog indicated that the Mission President and his wife were in the middle of having dinner and saying goodbye to a big group of missionaries that were completing their missions and heading home, so they were only able to give them a brief greeting before turning them over to the APs for training.  Presumably we will also find out shortly where his first assignment will be.  Exciting times!
