Hello Family & Friends,

I haven’t posted anything on Nate’s blog for the past several weeks because his emails to us have been very short, and consisting mostly of lists of items he needed us to send to him at the MTC. 

Nate hasn’t sent us any photos so far, but we did get two pictures of him while he was at the MTC. The picture below with Sam was taken on Saturday, September 23, Nate’s third p-day.  Sam had gone to the MTC that morning to act as a Cambodian “investigator” for the Cambodia-bound missionaries to practice teaching, and he and Nate met up for about 30 seconds.  Sam delivered a McDonald’s egg McMuffin to him, for which he was very grateful.  

The picture below with Emily was taken on Tuesday, October 10, at the MTC, right after an evening devotional the missionaries had with Elder Christofferson.  Emily is a member of BYU’s EMS (Emergency Medical Service) team, and she volunteered for the shift covering this devotional in hopes of seeing Nate.  And they found each other. J

Nate left the MTC yesterday (Sunday, October 15) and flew to Atlanta, Georgia, and then onto Buenos Aires.  From there he had a 3-hour bus ride to Rosario.  Peter received the following email from Nate today (Monday, October 16), shortly after noon our time (3:00 pm, Argentina time):

"hi dad, they just want you to know that i am here at the Mission home."
