Phone Call from Mongolian Mission President - President Anderson

Last night we received a phone call from President Anderson welcoming us to the Mongolian Mission. He was very friendly and helpful. He also wanted to know if we could start our mission earlier since an office couple is leaving at the end of March. This morning I called the Travel Department. When we will actually enter the MTC and the mission will depend upon when we receive our Mongolian visa.

I'm attaching a letter I received this morning from the mission president's wife, Sister Anderson. (Click on the box on the top right to enlarge the letter.)

Welcome Letter to the Stevens

Do they have an estimate of when you'll be receiving your Visa?

No, they don't know. One problem the lady mentioned is submitting an ESL certificate with the application, but you don't get the certificate until you enter the MTC. I think there are two parts on their end to getting a visa.

I would imagine we wouldn't go more than two or three weeks before the original date. There is a couple leaving the Mongolian mission office the end of March whom we're replacing. No one will be there to take their place until we show up.

Maybe I'll still be 15 when you get back then...
