Elder Joshua Nieman

Joshua made it safely to the Mexico MTC! He emailed us a very short but sweet email last night-he's already very busy! I just wanted to write one of the many tender mercies we experienced yesterday at the airport. First of all, there were so many missionaries and their families this early morning at the airport going through the same thing we were. This helped calm both Joshua and us. As we stood in the line to check the bags, there was a missionary family behind us. I could tell that they were feeling the same nervousness and anxiety that we were. The young missionary especially looked very nervous and sad. The dad asked Joshua where his flight was headed and it turns out that his son and Josh were going to be on the same flight to the Mexico MTC. When Joshua heard this he responded immediately by extending a friendly handshake to his fellow Elder, smiled his legendary smile, and said hello in his cheerful voice. The scared look on this young man's face transformed, his eyes lit up and was visibly calmed. This is exactly why my son will be an amazing missionary. His special gift of being genuine, happy and positive will help make connections with people in Peru and touch the lives of those he teaches.

Here are his mailing and email addresses. We appreciate all of the support we feel from family and friends. It means so much to us and especially our Elder Joshi! I'm sure he'll be happy to get mail from you so let the letters flow freely :) (Packages are not accepted at the MTC but are allowed at the Mission Home in Peru)
