TODAY I RECEIVED MY VISA TO SPAIN!!! This is a monumental day!! Reed received his visa from the Spanish Consolate last Tuesday, but my visa was not processed at the same time so today I met with the Spanish Consolate. Here I am with the Spanish Consolate with my visa!! He works at UVU and we are in the lobby to his office. He was the nicest man!! We fly to Madrid first thing in the morning! Can you tell that we are excited? We are a little worried about the Salt Lake City airport being closed. Today we received freezing rain and the airport closed for a while because a jet landed and then proceeded to slide off the runway. Tonight they said that 2 out of the 3 runways were already opened so we hope that we have a plane and a runway to take off on! We are flying through Atlanta and then on to Madrid. We are flying with another senior couple, the Sullivans. They are the medical couple for our mission and are so much fun! There will also be two young sisters flying with us. We were able to meet them today at the office of the consolate. One of the sisters was temporarily assigned to the Pocatello SpanishMission and the other sister was temporarily assigned to the Provo Spanish Mission while they were waiting for their visas. One sister has never been outside of the United States, so she is excited but nervous. The consolate explained to us that we will have to spend a few days in Madrid while our residential papers are obtained. Then we will be off to Las Palmas, Gran Canaria! We are all packed and ready to go. All of our suitcases weigh exactly 50 pounds (according to the luggage scale that we have) so we hope the airline scale gives us the same number! I can't believe that we are finally on our way!! Our eternal mission call is finally happening!! Hasta luego en Madrid!!
This is Edward one of our teachers in the MTC. He is from Honduras and is awesome!!
