Villahermosa here comes Elder Piquet!
Kolt got the news last Saturday that he'd be leaving Monday for Villahermosa, Mexico! The best most amazing part is he was able to call Dad, Mom, and the boys + Landon and I too!!!!!! It was So neat to be able to talk to him. I didn't think he would be able to call us. He sounds so good & SO grown up! I was really shocked with how long we were able to talk to him as well. Seriously forever! Silly Kolt saw snow for the last time Monday for the next 2 years that was a big deal for him and the other boys :). Kolt had quite the airport experience :). To start off he BARELY made the specified weight for the suit cases. He had even put some of his things in a companions suit case lol. The bench mark was 50 lbs. He said that he was just dieing when he put his suit case on the scale it went to 51lbs then back down to 50lbs Thankfully! The funny part was he still had like one other suit case and 2 carry on's lol. He wasn't going to leave anything behind lol. Something SUPER neat Kolt told us about was there was a boy there with him that Kolt and I went to high school with. Jared Richardson :) He wasn't able to get his Visa so they had sent him to St. George for five months, but was finally able to go to Mexico with KOLT!! How cool is that. We're glad he knew someone going with him. We were giving him a hard time about the food. If you know Kolt you know that he does NOT skip a meal ever!! He likes the homemade meat and potatoes :) Especially mashed potatoes. haha we didn't think he'd get that down in Mexico :). He was telling us about there "Last Supper" at the MTC. Poor kid was expecting something really good and they didn't get it darn it!!! :( He said it was horrible. The first terrible meal they've had at the MTC. Lol we told him that they were just preparing for the drastic change to mexican food. Kolt brought up his little niece several times he SO excited about her and that she'll be here soon be here. He always wants specific updates on her lol. We sent him a 3D ultra sound picture of Brylee that he barely had received before he left thank goodness! He was SO excited about it. We can not wait for him to meet her! There were 26 missionaries with Kolt flying to Mexico City as well as many many others leaving for Mexico very soon. Kolt said, "The Lord wants us in Mexico there is a great work to do I just know it." WOW this kid is powerful and he doesn't even know it! The boys flight was late and they missed their connecting flight in Mexico City to Villahermosa. Kind of really freaked all of us out, but the LDS mission home came and picked up the boys set up there new flight, gave them food, and a bed. We were all so worried about him, but know he is being watched over. Dad got the call Tuesday that he had made it to Villahermosa!! We are all so excited for him. We're sure he's doing absolutely amazing and can't wait to hear from him!
