The Delay

Normally you are allowed to submit your mission papers 90 days before your 19th birthday. For Andy this would be September 16 but, during the process of completing his application, Andy had pain behind his left eye. After some tests and MRI's he has been diagnosed with "relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis" (which is the non agressive form) and now is on a medication to help deter future exacerbations or flare ups. Andy is awesome and has faced this challenge head on. The doctor has recommended that Andy serve his mission in a temperate climate, where he has access to his medicine and health care. Getting all of this done has taken time and as a result his papers were submitted early November.
