Missionary Status:

The elder Elder Thompson is back! (and he's grown an inch)  It has been a wonderful.  We have enjoyed having him back oh so much.  It's been great to hear more about his mission and share things that have gone on here in the last two years in greater depth.  We've had some great times.

He has kept opening the fridge and being amazed at all of the food.  He'll open the drawers and say 'just so many good things that I love'. He has missed cooking, so I know we have some cooking adventures in our future!  He's got some new ideas of things to try so I'm sure it will be exciting.  

One funny thing he shared with me (that is most likely blog-allowable by his standards):  he was transferred to a new area for his last six weeks.  During a Sunday class of one of his first weeks in the area the teacher asked him how long he'd been out.  He told them 22 months.  The teacher was shocked thinking his suit looked so new that he must be a newly arrived missionary.  Then he asked if his suit was brand new.  It wasn't. The teacher was amazed. That is what happens when you are in a mostly driving mission and the person is meticulous. It's great that we don't have to buy him new Sunday clothes for a while (surprisingly they still fit with the growth).

Caleb is having a GREAT time.  We haven't known when he would be leaving for Argentina because the MTC lost his language score a few times and the time frame for visas being granted is always a question, but he flies out Monday--just 12 days there.  So crazy and exciting for him.  Cache is going to visit him tomorrow so that will be good for both of them.  

Ah.  Missionaries.  I love it.
