First email from Elder Wilks

Hey guys I made it finally! our flight got delayed 4 hours because the plane had some technical difficulties. The car ride here was so fun! Its pretty much a free for all out there on the roads. just try not to get in a wreck is the goal. Me and the polenesian guy (his name is very hard to say) found a sister missionary that was on our same flight so we have been sticking together. I went through customs and they didnt even have to open my bags so i just walked through. it was really easy. these keyboards are weird. Anyways, im so excited to get started here at the MTC. Love you guys

Walking through the airport and we run into another missionary that will be on the same flight! (Elder Moses) I think Elder Wilks was a little relieved to have someone going with him - to say the least. 

All the brothers and sisters. We love our missionary!

Last family photo for TWO YEARS! Holy cow. 

THIS IS IT! Made it to the airport.

It was REALLY HARD to say goodbye to our missionary.

Today Mitchell left his home here in Texas to go to serve the people of Honduras. He is dedicating the next two years of his life to serve the Lord and to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. I will be posting letters, updates, and photos here for friends and family to keep up with his mission experiences. If you have any questions about what Mitchell will be doing in Honduras, feel free to visit lds.org for more information. Good luck Elder Wilks! We love you!
