The new missionary suit fits just right. This is the day that Seth entered the MTC in Provo - he will be studying the Spanish language for about 6 weeks. He's had three years of Spanish in high school, and remembers quite a bit of the language. Of course, having that experience helps, but the challenge is in brushing up, and then using it in a native country. He'll do fine - he's dedicated to excellence, and is very serious about the gospel and his desire to serve.
We really enjoyed the visit before the jaunt this morning down to Provo. Managua, Nicaragua, here he comes! These next two years should go by fast.
When oldest son, Brig, went on his mission to England in June of 1976, it took six weeks for his first letter to reach us in Wyoming. Now, with the miracle of the internet and computers, Seth can send letters and pictures instantaneously. We use dearelder to write to him, and he gets his mail within a week. Sending a package is a different story - we are told it will take six weeks to two months to get a package through. This is a picture of Seth and his companion, and new converts.
Seth said that this is one of the better streets in the area he is in. People do not have street addresses. Mail is addressed to the green house on the corner, or a similar description. This very tropical climate is difficult to adjust to - Seth will spend a vastly different winter this year than he spent at Laramie last year.
