Off to Germany!

We (Lizzy's parents) dropped Lizzy off at the Provo Missionary Training Center on March 10, 2010 as she left for her eighteen month mission in Northern Germany. Because of her prior German language experience, Lizzy will only spend three weeks in the MTC, leaving for Hamburg on March 30, 2010. She is thrilled to be having a wonderful experience while in the MTC with roommates and companions from around the world--from Myanmar (Burma), Armenia, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Tonga, Philippines, Brazil, and Tahiti. Because she tested out of beginning German and will not be studying the language at the MTC, Lizzy has been assigned to the Advanced English as a Second Language Program. In her words, 'I guess they just couldn't figure what else to do with me!' She says the program creates an international microcosm of the Church in Provo, which she loves. As you can all imagine, this is absolutely the perfect place for Lizzy. Her address in the MTC (only until 3/30/2010) is:

Sister Elizabeth Anne Calder
MTC Mailbox # 301
GER-HAM 0330

2005 N. 900 E.
Provo, Utah 84604-1793

Once she arrives in Germany on 3/31/2010, her address will be:

Sister Elizabeth Anne Calder
Germany Hamburg Mission
Rugenbarg 7A
22549 Hamburg
Germany
