All is Well...Safe Arrival in Pittsburgh

We knew Elder Muir and his missionary posse would arrive in Pittsburgh around 9:00 am; however, we didn't receive word until Monday night that he had arrived safely.  Monday night we got a short but sweet confirmation that our son had arrived in Pittsburgh.

Hi Muir family,
Just a quick note to let you know your missionary arrived safe and sound.
We are so excited to have him here with us in PA.
Thanks for sharing him with us for a little while.

Much love,
Sister Topham

Tuesday I received another text to check my email and our sweet guardian angel sent another email with insider info and photos.  It feels like we are looking into the future when we hear from her.  We know things before Elder Muir even tells us and this mom is not complaining.  Loved, loved, loved see the pictures of our missionary and seeing his smile.  The smile tells me he's happy and excited to serve.

Finally, I'm getting back to you.  So we met Zach today.  He said to me, "So I bet your glad to finally meet me since you have heard so much about me lately" and it sure was nice.  He is a great guy.    He got a great companion, Elder "J".  He's a very low key, calm kind of guy and so nice.  He is going to a place called Camp Hill which is a long ways from Pittsburgh (about a 3 1/2 to 4 hour drive) so we probably won't see him again until he gets transferred.

We got some great pictures to send along to his mom so she can see he is all smiles.  The one at the table is pretty blurry but it's good enough to see him. He was the one that suggested we take one with us so his mom could see who we were.  Anyway, he was in great spirits and I'm sure he will be just fine.

Have a wonderful night.

Love ya,

Sis B
