Elder Avery Receives His Travel Instructions
Last week (about a week after receiving his mission call to Peru), Jake received a package from the Missionary Travel Department containing a tentative itinerary for his departure to the Peru MTC, and lots of forms and instructions for obtaining a visa and Peruvian identification card (some of which are written completely in Spanish!).
After reading what he could understand and a few phone calls to the Utah Secretary of State and the Missionary Department, he has a solid list of things he needs to do this week to get his visa underway. Another important thing Jake completed this week is his letter to the First Presidency of the Church, letting them know he accepts the assignment to serve in Peru.

Elder Madsen Needs Surgery :(
So much has happened since my last post, I promise to make sure to update immediately moving forward. For now, please forgive me for multiple posts as I catch up!
A few weekends ago, Kolby and some friends went to play at a local tumbling facility (something they do on a regular basis). In the course of the evening, Kolby injured his knee and will need to have surgery to repair his ACL, both menisci and remove a bone fragment. Originally, Kolby and Lindsey were planning to have their mission farewell on the same day, but we are still awaiting more information on how much Kolby's recovery will impact his mission. Right now, his surgery is scheduled for March 15, and the estimated recovery time is 6 to 9 months.
I will update as we get more information.
