It's visa time!

For the first time since he began his mission, Elder Allen wasn't able to send a weekly letter. But he did call to let us know he was doing well and was in Porte Alegre (four hours away) for the second week in a row. With his year anniversary coming up, he apparently needed to renew his visa. And that had to be done in the big city.

He continues to enjoy his new area and companion and being a zone leader, although it isn't the easiest time in his mission. His attitude is incredible and if I were half as positive as he chooses to be, I would be really pleasant to be around.

Thanks for praying for our boy! Every prayer and email and inquiry about how he is doing means so much to all of us. Hopefully my blog writing stint will be short and the real hero of this blog will return next week.
