What a whirlwind of events have transpired since we have received our call to Samoa. I have subsequently retired from work, taken a cross-country drive to Minnesota, Florida and Utah. We visited our son Adam and his wife and daughter in Minnesota for a few days, rode our trikes on the beautiful trails there then drove to Florida to visit Janice's Sisters in Jacksonville. Again, we triked along the intercostal waterway amongst the palms and turtles. We then spent a few days on the ocean at satellite beach before heading back west for an appointment at the Missionary Training Center (MTC) in Provo, Utah and also to visit our son James. We had a great visit with him and worked hard at the MTC learning Samoan. We got to meet our tutor, Sister Peo there and got to rub shoulders with all of the Samoan instructors there. We had a great visit with our son James and got to meet a lot of his friends and co-workers. He is doing so well there.
We have gotten chest X-Rays to detect TB and AIDS tests for our visa. We are arranging our typhoid inoculations and buying our missionary clothes. We are spending the next two weeks with our family here so time is flying by. We have just 81 more days before we arrive in New Zealand for our main training before we go to Samoa. We are praying that we can get everything done we need to.
