Six weeks before reporting to the MTC we received a call from the Mission President in Scotland telling us that our call was issued by mistake in that the couple we were to replace were not leaving as their release date was wrong. We were getting very excited about this call so it was a traumatic week, not to mention the closet full of warm clothes we had collected. We were given a couple of options for our recall: Indonesia teaching 3 days a week in the University there since we both have degrees and then doing member support and PR the rest of the week or Canary Islands Center for Young Adults. Since we already had thoughts about Spanish speaking there was no big decision. Within a week the call came to the Madrid Spain mission working on the Canary Islands. Thankfully a bunch of those warm clothes still had tags and were taken back to Kohls. We were grateful for their generous return policy.
The Canary islands are reported to have some of the nicest weather in the world, 65-85 degrees all year. And we won't be leaving until August if the visa comes through then. The visa process is slow in Spain but is said to be picking up. So, we are head first into our Spanish review and looking forward to a nice summer at home.
