A Passport can be TRICKY

 

Covid-19 is still dominating life right now. Grocery stores are limited, some stores have limited hours, and that includes offices that run the passport applications/processing. when I logged onto the government website to locate a facility near us, there wasn't a single office located in Utah that even pulled up!! So, I got on the phone and the girl on the opposite end informed me that we could go to the West Jordan post office. 

I got the proper documents together, made copies so we had them along with the originals, and Kaitlyn headed out the door to see if we could get it submitted and off to process. I was off looking at new rock for the swimming pool with Tyler but she checked in and said it was a no go. The machine to process was down and the gentleman working the counter was unable to help because he didn't know how to do that. c'mon...seriously?! So I met her at home and we logged on to see if we could find somewhere to go.

Saturday was here and she headed out the Sandy City Post Office. The gal at the desk there was super kind and helpful and told her to make an appointment with Sandy City and that would be the quickest way. She called and said she was going to try one more stop at the Lehi post office but that after that she would be home. I was at the nursery with Tyler looking at shrubs and trees when she called and said the Lehi post office was a bust but that she submitted for an appointment at Sandy City for that afternoon and was just waiting for approval to come in. 

The phone call finally came in and she had an appointment at Sandy City! She gathered up all her things and away she went. The sweet lady that had helped her was there and got all the paperwork and fingerprints submitted and now we wait for the arrival of her little blue passport book. Covid has sure made some things tricky and we are still unknown on if Brazil will be a final destination for Kaitlyn on her mission but for now...we scurry along and do all we can in order to ready ourselves.

 Having this step done and taken care of is sure nice so that when and/or if we get the call that a VISA can be started, we have one more 'to do' already taken care of.

 

Xoxo,

Missionary Momma

Mom's Talk: Sunday, July 10, 2022

Good morning Brothers and Sisters. I am excited to be here with you this morning. Not because I up here speaking but because we are here to listen to Kaitlyn report on her mission which means she is actually home! Thank you all for being here and for the support you have shown her throughout her time away. I also want to say hello to Elder Garcia who is hopefully able to have good enough wi-fi to join us today in Africa.  When I posed the question to Kaitlyn who she wanted to have speak with her I knew deep down she wanted Brooklyn but I also knew that Brooklyn had told both missionaries that if either of them asked her to talk she would simply not come to church that day at all and she was fine to miss their homecomings. To be able to pull off a small surprise for Kaitlyn today with having B speak just makes my heart smile Tyler conveniently doesn't do the social media thing so she wasn't an option to ask and Christian is in Africa so that wouldn't be an option either. I s...

From: Kaitlyn.Garcia@missionary.org Date: Saturday, January 16, 2021 Subject: I have a new mom Oi todos!It's just little old me, Kaitlyn. Well now it's Sister Garcia ;) I'm officially a missionary, which is so crazy to think about! During the online MTC my Pdays are Saturdays so you can expect an update from me every Saturday for the next 6 weeks. The CTM has been amazing so far! :) If I'm being honest I was super nervous to start and I didn't really know what to expect from it, but I'm so glad I've been able to do my training at home. My schedule that I was sent was all in Brazil time and it said that most of my classes were to start at 8:30am. I don't know if any of you know this, but Brazil is 4 hours ahead of Utah, you can do that math, it was supposed to be early! Luckily it's been changed and now my classes don't start until 9:30am Utah time. They like to keep us busy that's for sure! I already have to memorize and learn cer...
