Well I guess I'm getting permanently reassigned...

TO MEXICO!!!!!!!!!!!


Hey family,


I have gone to the consulate and now have my visa and will get my travel plans tomorrow! I leave the 11th of June. The only downfall is that is 2 weeks away. It's going to be pretty hard to keep my mind here in Utah for those 2 weeks but I'm really going to try.


The consulate wasn't really at all what I expected. I went over there with Udall. It was pretty good to see what he's been up to and talk for awhile. He has been transferred 4 times here! All we did was take some pics and sign some papers and that was that. There was about 10 elders from the MTC there going to another mission in Mexico so we had to wait awhile.


This week has been fairly good. I'm getting along OK with my companions but every once in awhile we have to talk some things over. 


One of the Elders is always talking about NOT being in Argentina. He is so down about it. One day this week he said something about it so I just told him "Man, you have got to get your spirits up about this." (something like that)
He then said "You already have your thing! You don't have to worry now!"
Me: "I've been worrying for two months!" That was that.


Then yesterday it got brought up again when we were talking with some senior missionaries. She said there was work to do where ever you are. I said yep, and we are here for a reason.
Then the Elder said "My call letter says Argentina"


I looked at Sis. Simpson and she looked really awkward and looked at me. I got pretty mad when he did that. I didn't say anything all day until that night. I wasn't sure if I was going to or not because I didn't want to make it worse or anything but felt that I really should do it. So I told him that he has to get happier about being here. There is a reason he is here and if God wanted him to be in Argentina right now, he would be there. He's not going to let some Argentine consulate stop Him from His work. I also said if he didn't make the best of his time here his whole mission would suck.


I don't know if he took it bad or good. He barely said anything during this and seemed mad. All he said was that he should just forget about the whole visa thing. I told him he doesn't have to do that, he just has to realize why he is here and pray to be able to do that. We haven't spoken about that since so we'll see how it all works out.


I love and miss you all!
