Getting the Gear for Cold Weather

I was going to wait until I got the video from Linda Wilcken; however, I decided I would post pictures now and the video on Monday after I receive it from Linda.

We went and got Anthony the three-in-one 3/4 length coat for the missionaries.  Outside is a rain coat, inside is a fleece coat.  They can be worn separately or together for extra warmth.  It has lots of pockets and a removable hood.  We bought him a separate hood, scarfs and gloves so hopefully his head should be toasty. =]

Yep, he's looking like a missionary, just missing his tag.

He was showing his mission bag also.....his grandparents bought him both the coat and the bag.  Thank you Thank you THANK YOU.  His bag has a bladder to hold water during the hot, sweaty months; a rain fly that he can unvelcro from the bottom that covers his entire bag.  He is very excited and its only luggage!

Only his boots are left.  We are considering ordering those online and having them delivered to the mission home so that they are waiting for him when he arrives.  We aren't sure how long he will be staying at the MTC as we have heard anywhere from 1 1/2 wks to 3 wks.
