On January 16th 2008, Ben, Rachel, Mooey and I too Ali to the MTC (Missionary Training Center) to begin her mission. She would be serving for 18 months in the Chile Santiago West mission with 2 months of that spent in the MTC learning Spanish.
As of this date she has been on her mission for just over 4 months and is loving it. She has met some interesting people whom we hear about each week when she emails us. She is excited and doing great. She eats a lot of beans and rice with a little chicken. One downside is that they don't have Root Beer or Dr. Pepper but she doesn't mind the sacrifice !! She has not been too a Subway or McDonald's for 4 months and I believe is having withdrawals..ha ha.
We really enjoyed talking to her for Mother's Day, one of the two times she can call home during the year. Her excitement and chatter made us realize that she is still our Ali and that she will always be grateful that she served a mission.
