That's so awesome! Matt went to Central America (Nicaragua) for his mission. There will be so many things for you to see and experience. We know you'll be an awesome missionary!

mary, well I've already told you and texted you that I am just so extremely excited for you to be going to Whatemala! You are gonna be such an amazing missionary! Any chance they'll let you wear Chacos? You should look into that!

Hey hey ... it was sure nice to be on the phone with ya last night. Too bad I didn't hear the news until late last night. I think you will do amazing things if you trust the Lord and carpe diem.. I love you Mary and so does He.

Mare,
Way to go girl!!!!!!
Soon you will know why they say 'it was the best years of my life'. You already live like most of them there, ie, in third world conditions, oh--except you have a car, skiis, food, clothing, health care, and education, but other than that, peice of cake!
I am so proud of you, for standing up to be counted, you will soon learn that one person CAN make an amazing difference with a little help from your Father in Heaven of course.
I should check out the Chaco rule, they would be perfect for Guatemala, don't you think?
Congrats again.
love dad--RWH
