Back at the MTC

Dropping us off at the MTC

You've got to have the cliche map picture...

End of the second day at the MTC. We just got back from a Devotional with Elder Rasband (we and 2,000 other missionaries). After-wards, Regina chatted with Sister Rasband whom she knew growing up. Last night we got to spend some time with Jason and Anya Moss with whom we served in Lipetsk during our first mission to Russia. That was nice.

So far, we've been getting oriented back to missionary work, even though we will be in the office. We have gone to classes, then to eat, then to class, then to eat again. I'm gong to be fatter than a house when we leave next week. I think the theory behind feeding the missionaries so well is to fatten us up so that our systems have time to adjust to new diets once we arrive in the mission field.

We obviously miss our children and grandchildren but this has always been a Church that requires sacrifice and it always will...hurrah for Israel!!
