Jamae: Sister Willardson made it to South Korea!

It’s the greatest little treat to catch pics of our missionary on the mission fb page or added to Google Photos. 

After 9 weeks in the MTC, Sister Willardson has finally arrived in South Korea! I’m so inspired by the bold and intentional way she loves and connects with people. I know this is one of her great assets as a missionary in inviting others to draw closer to Christ. She works hard, is humble, and has incredible faith. She is such a force for good.

We got to talk to Quincy on Sunday evening (Monday morning for her, 14 hours ahead)! 

She. Is. So. Happy.

I always believed Quincy would love her mission, but now that she is in the field she has that glow. Her smile is more genuine. She is so happy to be there, happy to learn and invite and serve and stretch and testify.  

Her trainer, Arnold Jamine, has been out for 5 months and is from Utah. She is darling. They have a bougie apartment on the 11th floor in Onyang/Asan, a suburb of south Seoul. This apartment has heated toilet seats (western toilets!) and heated floors. She likes enough of the food so far and said Korean fried chicken was a religious experience and America be doing fried chicken wrong lol. 

Ok enjoy a photo dump of our favorite Sister Missionary from receiving her call (which blew her mind after her 6 months of self guided Korean language study. Very inspired.) to telling friends, a semester of BYU with temple and mission prep, making her own covenants in the House of the Lord, saying goodbye to friends and family and friends who became family, home MTC, farewell talks and open house, her comps and district at the MTC, and finally arriving and her first week in Korea.

Family is chosen and Blud runs deep for Remy 

Fancy and Q have the same mission call! They’ll have to put up a barrier to keep Q from going full send red rover to not give her buddy a hug when they reunite in the field for the first time. 

Roommates and college besties (who all have mission calls now!)

A brave and honest farewell talk

Good luck in Mexico Allie! 

These four all would have left to serve last summer and each of them has patiently trusted in Gods timing.
