Merry Christmas!!!!
We hope that all of you had a wonderful Christmas day. Ours was very relaxing and filled with peace. We were able to talk to our dear missionary and see him through skype. The time limit was very generous and something we needed. So here is the update on our sweet missionary.
Wesley is doing great. They live in a home with 2 sets of missionaries. They get fed almost every night. The mission is great and extremely supportive. As he said the members have become his new family. We were able to thank them at the end of our conversation, for taking such good care of him and they were so warm and welcoming. Wes said that it really didn't feel like Christmas. More like a birthday or such because they don't have any snow and it is so warm. He was so funny reacting to everyone's stories and getting caught up about home. His companions family sent them some nerf guns for Christmas, so they had an "epic Nerf Fight" (his words) Christmas morning. He has been warned about the weather in the summer. Daily deluges, monster mosquitoes, and lovely, lovely humidity. They were given instruction when they first get their about their new conditions. They are instructed about cleaning and keeping up on the mold, so it doesn't get out of hand. They have to keep their home at 76 degrees or lower, in order to keep the mold at bay. How to scrub their bathrooms to again keep ahead of the mold. He also said they had their first cockroach just recently. All four missionaries went on the attack and finally subdued the invader. But hearing it from them, just cracks me up.
All in all, he looks good, sounds good and is being watched over very well. Thanks for all your support and prayers, he feels it. We asked him if he had a chance to try some of the food that we sent him, but he said he was so stuffed, as of the last couple of days, that he couldn't possibly eat anything extra just now. As a mom, that makes me smile :o).
Have a wonderful week!
