MTC update~ ever changing!

The past couple of years have certainly been interesting with COVID, etc.!  Missionary work has looked different and things are always changing as the needs and restrictions have warranted. 

Ada was called to leave on October 4th to the Mexico MTC.  With COVID happening, we knew that things could change at any time.  

It has been unknown about her status of her MTC experience and still is vague.  We have thought that she would need 6 weeks of MTC due to language learning as well.  Whether this was all at home, some at home and some in Mexico or all in Mexico, it was unknown?

Just this past week; a couple of weeks shy of her time to report, we received multiple emails with a variety of updates.

The first email this week was that she would be participating in Home MTC the whole time starting October 4th.  But, then the next day we got an email asking us to disregard that email and that she would do 2 weeks Home MTC and then 4 weeks Mexico MTC because she was vaccinated and had her passport.  

Then that same day, she received a phone call from the Mexico MTC wanting to do a Spanish Evaluation which she did very well with.  They determined that she could probably have a shortened MTC experience due to her Spanish fluency and only do 3 weeks of MTC with native speakers.  Which MTC?  Who knows?  Was it to be at home, Mexico or even Provo?  No idea!? But, we planned on still going on October 4th, which we shouldn't have assumed because today we received a phone call from our Stake President and he had received an email from the MTC saying that Ada's MTC experience was to be shortened from 6 weeks to 3 weeks and it would be done remotely through the Mexico MTC (so at Home MTC).  But, this is the kicker!  She will now NOT start until October 25th so that she starts in the mission field at the same time that they were previously expecting her.  

So, because her MTC is shortened 3 weeks, she starts 3 weeks later instead of just putting her in the field sooner.  

Man, what a rollercoaster.  We are patient and know that this too could change again today or any day before she is set to go. She is SOOOOOO ready though!   She just needs to get out there and do her thing!  She is so excited and prepared.  

We won't hold our breath, but hopefully this will be the final change. :)
