Visa's Delayed

Bruce and I were working out in the yard. When we came in the house, Bruce checked and we had a message on the answering machine. It was from WILL. We felt so bad and disappointed that we were not here to talk to him directly. We haven't heard his voice in two months. As you know, they are not allowed to call us, except at Christmas and on Mother's Day. We knew it had to be important and it was. He and the nine other Elders going to Colombia were set to leave on Tuesday morning, October 21. The church had sent out all their Visa's some time ago. They had not arrived back at the MTC, so they cancelled their flights. Apparently, they will stay at the MTC for up to two weeks. If the Visa's don't come within that time period, then they will be sent somewhere in the U.S. until they do come. He said that his zone is fasting and praying that they will come quickly. They are all so disappointed.
Here are some pictures of Will and his friends at the MTC. We had to laugh at his hair. He has never parted his hair in his life so I'm sure he really has to gel it down.
