Waiting for the new batch of Provo Missionaries to arrive. They landed at 9:30pm...35 of them, so it may take while for them to gather their luggage and actually arrive here.  Going to be a long night, but it is so worth it to see the excitement on their faces when they get here!

We were not sure that we could live here at the MTC the entire time we are here serving. The room we are staying in is smaller than the ones the other 2 couples have, and there was concern that we would want something larger. But we are happy and content living here where we just have to walk down 3 flights of stairs (or take the elevator) and across the courtyard every day. We are not in our room that much anyway. It has what we need. Anyway....we prayed and prayed that we could stay here. A couple of days ago we received word that we CAN stay here!!! We are so happy and so blessed! Another testimony of how prayer works. We know that Heavenly Father hears our prayers and answers them!! Sometimes we are here late in the evening or early in the morning, and driving here from an apartment would NOT have been fun. We still haven't driven here yet.

So it has been raining a lot more here. People keep talking about the HUGE toads they see on the lawn in the morning or late evening, but Sister Chantry still hasn't seen any yet! We did see a cool moth the other day and took a picture of it. We will have to post it. And a BIG snail, too!!

Life is wonderful here! Blessings are abundant! It is am amazing experience to be around all these young missionaries as they prepare to go out and teach the world the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We wish all of you could feel what we feel and see what we see each and every day. God bless you all!!
