Mexico...at last

Tyler left the MTC last Wednesday, May 21, 2008. Exactly one month late. We talked to him during his layover and he sounded excited to be going to Mexico.
He e-mailed when he got there and said that he was tired and was going to go to Zone Conference the next day. He also said that the city was "massive". I wonder what some boy that grew up on a farm thinks of the city!

can he stay any longer?

Yes, Tyler is still in the MTC. He should be going to the consulate this week.
The picture is of him and four other elders (Sleight, Van Wagoner, Smedly and Moller) that have the unfortunate last name at the end of the alphabet.
Here is part of his last e-mail.

hey we wont be leaving until sometime next week(Mon, Tues , Wed or Thurs). they are going to get us extra temple time and new schedules and help us to stay busy. we also might get to go to temple square

Still there...

Tyler called home on Saturday to say that their (all 71 of them) Visa's didn't get signed. Best case, they got signed today and they leave tomorrow, worst case, they are at the MTC for two more weeks then they would get sent out to the States and wait in some other mission.
Maybe Maimi? Spanish speaking? Alex would like it!
I spoke to the travel department today, and they said that rumors are not true, Mexico is still open to missionaries it just takes time to get off of someones desk.
