And so it now officially begins...

Since we opened our mission call on June 3, we've been busy packing, preparing, packing, sorting, and more packing. Then since the first week in July, we have been doing our French homework. Three times a week our MTC tutor - Sister Mindy Levitt - skypes with us and helps us learn French - or try to remember it.

We each have our own one hour sessions, but for the sake of the picture, We took one with both of us. Believe me, it's a lot of work. We struggle for an hour, then we have homework each time! To say we're not used to this is an understatement! But now... all of that preparation is over.
Tomorrow - Sunday, August 7, 2011 - at 12:30pm - Our Stake President - Ryan Richards, will set us apart as missionaries and it will officially begin. We will enter the MTC on Monday, Aug. 8 where the REAL work will begin. So, keep us in your prayers. (No one has ever DIED at the MTC, right?)
