The Phone Call

Anthony called home this afternoon and only got to talk to mom and dad for 3 minutes because there were 40 other missionaries there that wanted to use 6 pay phones with a little amount of time. We were a little bummed out when we didn't get the chance to talk to Anthony but all that matters was that mom got her call. Mom got a letter this morning that said Christmas day was the first day that he has really been home sick so far. He also said that he sent a package home but he doesn't know how long it will take to get here because there were a lot of other elders shipping things home this week. Looking forward to get more letters and updates from Anthony.

Waiting!!!

Today is the day, Anthony is headed to Chile! From his last letter he said that he would fly to LA and he would be able to call us when he got there. Right now we are waiting for him to call and we are getting very excited. The excitement builds more and more everytime the phone rings and then it is shot down really quick when we see a different number calling. More to come after the phone call.

Update.

Man I have been really bad. I haven't updated this in 3 weeks. So I have a lot that I need to catch up on. Anthony said that he has had a lot of people make appointments to meet with full time missionaries after talking to him in the Referral Center. He was also proposed to while he was in the RC. He thought that she was on something at the time and she was a little Crazy! They have been teaching the first two lessons in Spanish and they are finding that it is hard because the Spirit will prompt him to say something but he doesn't know how to say it in Spanish. He decided that he would just follow the promptings of the spirit because there is a reason that the spirit is prompting him. In this weeks letter he said that they have had four full days of Spanish and will have six more before they leave. Monday was the last day that they were able to go to the temple for the next twenty-two months. " It was really awesome and I have enjoyed every chance i had to go, even though it was in Provo." He said that he heard that there is Dear Elder.com down in Chile so he hopes that everyone will continue to write and show him love and support. "You never know how God will work things out but HE WILL. Trust in him with all your heart. I love you all and miss you lots. Keep up the good work there and I will try my best here."
