Information from Sam's Mom...
This afternoon Sam called us from the MTC in Provo with the exciting news that her visa came in! There has been a tremendous backlog of missionary visas to Brazil, and so this is great and welcome news! With only a week to go of her training segment, the travel department wastes no time...she will fly to Brazil tomorrow (March 29) and finish up the language prep in the Sao Paulo CTM. Then the week of April 4 sometime she will venture further south to her area of service.
We are looking so forward to hearing her accounts of the first few weeks in Brazil, so stay tuned. I have posted the address of her mission home in Florianopolis. With only a week in Sao Paulo, if I mail a letter tomorrow to Florianopolis...she may actually beat it there. Nothing could be better when she gets there than having some welcoming letters from friends and loved ones when she arrives.
She was so upbeat and happy - will be up all night tonight packing, I'm sure. Her companion during her time in Provo, Sister Boyer, also got her visa and they will be traveling together. They go to Detroit first, then Atlanta, then on to Sao Paulo. It will be a long day of travel. She is nervous and excited all at once.
Thanks everyone for your support!
