FROM ARGENTINA WITH LOVE!
I just got a call from the Mission President wife in Argentina! She said Elder Newey was there safe and sound and that she already loves him. She said he had a huge smile on his face through the whole training day, and was volunteering to do anything they asked. That really makes a Mom happy, I must say.
His first companion is from Pleasant View, UT and he will be serving on the coast right by the Atlantic Ocean. His area is called Comodoro Rivadavia. We looked at pictures and it looks beautiful, but dry and arid. Patagonia is a desert after all!
His P Day is Monday so we'll be hoping for a long email, but knowing Hayden we'll probably get a short note telling us how great it is. Hey, a mom needs details!!
We are so happy to know he is safe and happy and serving the Lord.
