Hello from Zion National Park!

Well we were to have reported in to the MTC on Monday morning
BUT no visa and we were told to stay home and wait to hear from
the missionary department! All packed and no where to go. Dad is not big on waiting - so tonight we are in Zion National Park in southern Utah - and tomorrow we go hiking in one of the most beautiful spots on earth. We rented a car ( sold ours) and got a
great deal on a new car for $15 a day and drove 250 miles. The weather is super and we are making lemon aid out of lemons! Next week we can get back to our Portuguese lessons and waiting for the Brazilians to get on the visa detail for about 300 missionaries waiting to go to various cities in Brazil. So depending on how long we have to wait we will just keep moving out our date to come home by 18 months from ??????? Tomorrow we will post some pictures - retirement is a time to be flexible!

Nate and I have always wanted to visit there. Some day we will. Glad to hear you're taking some time to play, sorry things were changed for you at the last minute. Are you still planning on sending pics for me for the blog? Miss you!
