It is hard to believe that in less than two months, we shall be real missionaries. We shall be staying in the Mission Training Center for two weeks, and then on September 17th, we will be flying out and on our way to DR. We will arrive late night on the 17th. It sounds like a dream.
But it is coming, slowly.
Bonnie continues to study Spanish. She is helping my daughter who just had a baby last week, so she doesn't have much time to lend to learning Spanish, but she is trying. We get our passport pictures tonight, I assume. We need about eight of them. There are many places who take them and process them. I don't know why, but we need around 8 of them. We do not need a passport, but we need passport pictures for our visa, and other things.
I talked to a student who is here learning English that comes from the Dominican Republic. When I told her we were going to her country, she was so excited. She started jumping up and down. She told me that we would love it, the people, the country, the food, and the beauty of the country. He father works in the Government, and we shall meet up when we get down there. She will be returning to her country before we get there.
I try to imagine how wonderful it will be when I no longer have to worry about what I do every day at work. It will be such a joy and relief to just think of serving my God. Can't wait.
