Elder Van Meeteren left Salt lake at 2 PM on Wednesday the 3rd, (11 weeks in the MTC) and traveled to New York via Minneapolis. He was able to call from there and then went on to Tinidad arriving there at 7 AM on Thursday. We were told by the mission secretary that he would spend the day there to be interviewed and oriented and then catch a plane that night to Suriname. He arrived there at midnight (8 our time). Here is an Email from Sister Dirkmaat who is a Senior missionary there:
Hi,
He arrived in last night. His companion says he is fine and speaks Dutch like a pro. We hope to meet him some time today or tomorrow. The Zone Leaders picked him up. His companion is Elder Scroath from Boise ID and they are already out working. You might find it interesting that the US Ambassador invited all the missionaries to his home to watch the Super Bowl. President Gamiette gave his permission. At lest you will know what he is doing at that time.
Sister Dirkmaat
We are happy he is finally there!
I'm so glad to hear that! And also excited that dutch is working out for him. YAY HAYDEN!
