Today we are gathering people to help us move our STUFF from our storage unit twenty five miles south. We have been busy preparing for this day. By the end of this day, we will be very tired, but will have accomplished much. I hope we can say the same thing about the days to come in the DR.
In the next three weeks, we will be blessing three new grand children. That makes twenty, ten boys and ten girls. What a glorious experience is it to be grand parents. What a challenge it will be to leave them all and return to them in 18 months, all grown up and mature. They will probably be serving missions, some married, some dating, and they will have grown beyond us recognizing them any longer. That is what is difficult about leaving family for this amount of time. But we are still ready to go and do.
We will talk in church on the 26th at 8:30 in the morning. Many have said they would like to come and hear our parting words. Then we will depart and we can be called the dearly departed. Fun.
As time continues to get short, there are lists and more lists made and checked twice to assure that we get everything done. One list doesn't seem to have anything crossed off. When I note that, I wonder if we are doing anything to prepare. One of the other lists is getting checked off quickly. Then we make more lists.
Bonnie is progressing with her Spanish lessons. She talks with me constantly about why this, and why that. At times I don't know, I just say things as they feel right. But in reality, there has to be a reason why. She can ask her tutor.
We are discussing with the church our immunizations. They have the records incomplete though we have sent in verification of them. Just one more thing to add to our lists.
The days are getting shorter. We will be flying away soon, after all is done. We have that deadline to get it all done by such and such a date. Will we make it, I will tell you when we are in the MTC, or when we climb aboard the airplane.
