Estonia...

Elder Boyce arrived in Riga, Estonia on July 8th. We are so glad he made it safe and sound!! We were able to talk to him on the phone when he was at the airport which was so fun:) He spoke Estonian to all of us and we were so amazed at how well he has picked up on the language! He had so many great experiences in the MTC. The worst was that he got SWINE FLU!!!! Ya, we were pretty much freaking out!! He lost ten pounds and was quarantined for five full days! What a trooper he his! He was so sad to leave the MTC but so excited to finally arrive in Estonia. He arrived July 9th and has been assigned to served in the town of Tartu. His companion is Elder Roberts who is from Bountiful, Utah! He loves Elder Roberts because he is a great cook and is a pro at speaking Estonian! He says that the country is beautiful and he loves the people:) I will post some pics from the MTC as soon as I get them all scanned. We love you Spen and are so proud of our missionary!!
