My son has entered the MTC, in Provo! His visa to Brazil did not go through in time. We found out the friday before he was to leave to Brazil! He was a little disappointed, but he has found that life will throw you a curve ball, you just have to adapt. We don't know how long he will be there. The message from the Church Missionary Department said as soon as the visa's show up, he will leave to the MTC in Brazil. If you call the mail dept in the Provo MTC, they say they anticipate he will be there until April. In the mean time, we received our first letter yesterday with some funny and surprising news. He said he misses everyone, but it is bitter sweet because he is so excited and happy to be in the Mission finally! He LOVES his new companion. They hit it off right away and have tons in common. Sit down for this....They both do Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu! NO WAY ha ha. What are the chances? He said they were looking forward to P-Day to "roll around!" His District is LARGE, 26! He said normally there are 4-6 missionaries in a district, but they are all waiting for their visa's so they are all waiting together. He has been called to be the District Leader! There are only 2 District leaders for that group, and he is one of them. Very Nice... He is very happy and would love to hear from everyone.

A "Flagship" of the fleet has left his safe harbor.
When the fleet will keep their eyes on its flag they all will have a safe and successful sailing.
Before his departure he was properly instructed by the harbor command center and taught the proper use of maps and compas and when properly used it will guarantee him to be able to steer through storms and bad weather.
Many have departed before him and ran aground, shipwrecked, capsized, sunk, or hit hidden obstacles and they lost their "Flagship" status. They are now drifting in raging and strange dark waters, unaware of where they are.
We pray that Geoff keeps in touch with the headquarters command center and be grateful for the safe harbor from which he departed.
Good sailing Geoff and may God (from His command center) bless you with good weather always.
