Hi Everybody,
Just thought that I would give you all an up date on our missionary. He was scheduled to leave on
Monday,but has been delayed cause of problems with the visa's so he is staying at the M.T.C for
2 more weeks. Hopefully things will get fixed and he will go to Mexico like planned. We where able to talk to him on the phone on Friday we where all so excited. It was so great to hear his voice. We will be talking with him though e-mail so if he relay any new info I will let every
one know. The girls have only two weeks left of school, so there getting real excited.
we have been planting our garden we planted fruit trees. We are looking forward to a wonderful
summer. love you all Ginger
