Dear Family,

President Wright just called and I got my VISA!!!!!!!! I leave next Monday for Portugal!!! Woo hooo!!!! It's real this time!!!!! I go to seattle, then to frankfurt Germany, then to Portugal!!! I don't know any more than that, like the exact time or anything, but it's here! Yay! If you have a couple seconds write me any questions! I am truly grateful for my opportunity to serve here in California, and I know that the Lord called me here to help someone and to grow to be a better servant for Him. I am so happy! Love you all!
