Today we found out that there are ninety VISA waiters NOTE: A Visa Waiter is a missionary who is assigned to another country and whose visa has not come through yet. Therefore, they are ‘waiting for their visas’. President Richards told Salt Lake )NOTE: Salt Lake City is the headquarters of the church) that our mission would be able to handle four Visa Waiters. So, we are getting three Spanish speaking missionaries – 1 Sister and two Elders and 1 Portuguese speaking Elder. We got eight more missionaries coming. We are up to thirty-two in June, thirty-four in July and at this point, twenty-five in August. We also have a missionary from Taiwan coming in who speaks Mandarin Chinese. He will be arriving in November.
I spoke with one of our replacements, Sister Pascoe. She is a little nervous about learning iMOS. NOTE: iMOS is a church program widely used for storing and keeping data about the incoming and outgoing missionaries. Sister Pascoe will do just fine. I am excited to meet her and Elder Pascoe. Jennifer just called and reminded us that we have only about two more weeks. We are well aware.
