He's on His Way....

Elder De Vera has been so good at writing letters.  We've received one just about every week that he's been in the MTC.  It reminds me of all the other Elders and Sisters who are now so busy 'in the work' that they find it much harder to write consistently.  We take what we can get and are grateful for all of their service.

Here is portion from Elder De Vera's latest letter:

I'm doing great!  I just got my flight plans.  It's so exciting!  I fly out on Monday, October 8th (he's already gone by the time we received this) at 5:30am.  I think I might just miss the MTC.  Elder Neil Anderson came to speak to us.  We've had other seventies who have also been here.  Life's been great.  Worry Free and well fed! Such great and inspiring devotionals and firesides.  I will miss the MTC because of those.  The language...I've got it!  So a day in the life of Elder De Vera is:  6:30am wake up and get out of bed.  'Drag' a comb across my head.  Breakfast after planning and study then the rest is either personal, language, additional studies, class for 3 hours, then another class for 3 hours with lunch or dinner in between.  A LOT OF STUDYING.  I've read through the BOM once and now halfway through Matthew and Jesus the Christ.  That's a lot of reading....for me!  I miss you all.  Hope you are doing well.  When I get settled in my new area, I'll write again.  'Til next time.  Elder De Vera

Keep up the great work Elder De Vera.  The adventures are just beginning!!!
