Spanish Visas!

After hearing horror stories about young missionaries and couples who had to spend up to four months in the MTC because of delayed visas to Spain, we feel blessed that today we got ours!

In an informal ceremony, the honorary consul of Spain in Utah, Baldomero Lago, a professor of foreign language at Utah Valley University, presented us our passports with attached visas.

Dr. Lago was an instructor of Spanish at BYU for five years before he took a job as professor of Spanish at UVU. He is a charming man and a member of the LDS Church.

It was a happy day, knowing that we would be able to leave for Spain on our scheduled date of May 11, 2012.
