On May 13, 2014 we were to met two new missionaries coming in from the MTC. However, Sister Riley and Elder Melligan had an eventful journey from the MTC and never arrived on May 13, 2014. Their original flight took them to Dallas Fort Worth, where they were to have a lay over before boarding the international flight to Amsterdam. On the first leg of their journey, there were severe storms which forced them the land in Amarillo,Texas. The mission in Dallas Fort Worth was contacted and the Mission President there arranged to have Sister Riley and Elder Melligan picked up in Amarillo and brought to the mission home in Dallas Fort Worth mission. They stayed in the mission home in Dallas Fort Worth mission Monday night. The next morning Sister Riley and Elder Melligan were booked on a flight to Amsterdam. They finally arrived one day later, on Wednesday, May 14, 2014.
We were never so glad to see two 'lost' missionaries that had been 'found'!
