An October Update

I keep thinking I will download pictures and just don't get to it.  I decided I had better let people know that it looks like we are going into the MTC on 28 October.  We do not have a visa yet but it should be coming around the 30th or 31st of October.  We have another plane ticket and if all goes as planned, we will be leaving on October 12 and arrive in Denmark the morning of October 13.  We are going through Dallas instead of Chicago and have a 4 hour layover there. 

We just got back from spending the weekend with Doreen and Popi.  We went to church with them this morning and Doreen even had us practice for the choir last night so we could sing with them today.  It was a beautiful arrangement of 'Come Follow Me'.  I am still humming the 2nd soprano part.  We are going to go again next week because we need to get to know this ward.  After all it will be our ward in 18 months.

Danish Immersion went really well this week.  I am starting to think more and more in Danish first and English second.  This will work well in Denmark but not so well in the US.  We have been culling our luggage again.  We will be able to easily get our things in our suitcases now.  After living out of a suitcase for 2 almost 3 months, we are seeing what it essential and what is fluff.

This week is shaping up to be busy.  Tomorrow is Carianne's birthday.  Tuesday we have Danish tutoring in Provo.  Wednesday we will go to the Draper Temple and then to Provo in the evening to see Der Fledermaus.  We will spend the night in Provo and then go to the Provo temple with Marianne on Thursday morning.  Friday evening is a Vocal Exchange 30th anniversary party - along with Carolyn Wallingford's birthday  in Ephraim.  Sometime during the week we need to move our essential stuff to the Dittmar's so we can go into the MTC on Monday. 

I have been fighting a migraine and I am exhausted.  I hope you have a great week.

Okay, you said October 12 and 13 for leaving. Did you mean November or December?
