Counting down- t minus 4 days-Thanks


Living out of a suitcase
As we prepare to leave on Sunday I thought I would post some pictures and some thoughts.

Marcia and I have minimized our possessions to two suitcases each (less then 50 pounds per), one carry-on and one personal item. Senior couples, prior to leaving for a mission, who have homes normally have to rent, sell or close up their homes.
A number of couples we have met have rented their homes. Elder and Sister Rose, going to Orlando, Florida, ended up selling their home. The bottom line is we are all living out of our suitcases until we get to our missions.



Senior Lounge
The Elders and Sisters working in the MTC go out of their way to help the senior missionaries. We had our own, somewhat exclusive, lounge located in building 18m on the third floor. Fortunately there aren't any couches. We didn't want to perpetuate the ugly rumor of seniors and naps!

The people at the MTC are truly wonderful people. Marcia and I have been blessed with having excellent instructors. Brother Hawkes and Sister Reese were our instructors for our week in the MTC studying Preach My Gospel. The week before we had several instructors who we want to recognize and thanks.


Jericho
They were Jericho Lopez, Preston, Oliver (last names forgotten at this point).
