We are Leaving for Uruguay

Jerry and I are in the Missionary Training Center in Provo, Utah. We are learning how to present the gospel of Jesus Christ simply and with conviction. We are also working on Spanish and learning how the Welfare System in the church works. It is so rewarding and interesting. It is also exhausting to try to absorb so much information in such little time. My Spanish is improving. There are a lot of people learning Spanish here, so it's easy to start up a conversation in the cafeteria, etc.

We started a new blog for our mission, and the link is in my list of blogs. I hope you get a chance to check it out. I will probably not write here too many more times.

One interesting thing that links both blogs is that the date I leave for Uruguay is the year anniversary of my last chemo treatment! Isn't that ironic? I was really surprised when I figured that out! What a great way to celebrate!! Wish us luck!
