I received a quick email from Travis today.  It is a Saturday so it was very unusual. Before Travis left on his mission he needed to obtain a passport and visa.   The visa application process took us almost 3 months just to get finger prints and FBI clearances etc.. We finished and submitted the visa application just before he entered the Missionary Training Center.  There is typically a waiting period of several months for missionaries before they receive their visas.  They often spend several months in a State side mission before heading to Argentina.  Travis was prepared to do that but was so excited when he go this news...

 Mom,
       I got my travel plans. I leave the 9th from Salt Lake City Air Port  for Georgia  at 11 AM, then from Georgia to Buenos Aries at 4:40 pm and arrive at about 8:30 am. then probably a bus or train to Mendoza. We're going in on travel visas. We are the first complete district to go straight to Argentina in a couple years. Blessed does not even describe my thoughts right now.
