Family Provo Temple Day

James & Jacob have decided to go to the temple this week. We are scheduled to go to the 7:20 pm session, which means that we must be in the Chapel at 7 pm. The boys of course will arrive earlier. I'm very excited for them to go! In the process for obtaining their Visas for Argentina we are still waiting on the FBI clearance. I have been told that can take up to six weeks. I hope not because we still need to get an Apostile (Official documentation that the record is authentic)   from the secretary of state before we can send it on to get the Visa. I'm not sure how long the Visa itself will take.

Other exciting news is that since the announcement made in General Conference about the age changes for missionaries there has been much excitement. It was announced that the Church regularly receives about 700 missionary applications a week. This last week they received over 4000! And its only been 2 weeks! That's an increase of 471%. In the past about 1/5 were Sisters, now over 1/2 are Sisters. A news article on the topic can be found here: Deseret News.
