I had a nice long talk with Sister Joyce this evening about Tyler and his companions and life in the mission field. She is a sweet lady who cares deeply for her missionaries. She said that Tyler was a little frustrated with his current situation, but that he generally has a great attitude. He was recently transferred and has a new companion, Elder Schwartz. At the moment they are both staying at the mission home for health reasons. Although they are working from there, they are a bit impatient to get out on their own.
While we are lucky that Ty has good insurance, Sister Joyce said that the amount of money the mission spends on medical care is huge, $20,000 in the last couple of months (mostly on sports – interzone competitions on P-Days). $340,000 for apartment rents and $250,000 for gas for the mission cars.
Anyway, as soon as the reports are done, she will call and let us know. We, and Ty, are just waiting right now…
