The Envelope, Please!

As all prospective missionaries know, waiting for that big white envelope from Church Headquarters can make each day feel a week long! Craig and I had it a little easier this time, since we received an email from an Asia Area office senior missionary, and a follow-up email from one of the Asia Area presidency, asking us for details about our upcoming mission there. So, we concluded we knew where we were going, just not when. 

Our official call letter states that we will be member and leader support missionaries in the Asia Area, reporting to the MTC in Provo on September 12th, 2016. However, what we understood was that the presidency could use us sooner, so Craig checked with Elder Funk and Elder Wong, who directed us to work with the Missionary Department to have us arrive mid-July. That's 6 weeks from now, which is about how long it takes for visas to Hong Kong, and to make travel arrangements. Six weeks!!!
