No More Days

It been a busy few days. Last minute visits and meals with family and friends, and always just one more item to take with. I brought my desktop computer to my oldest son Adam and spent some time with him. Yesterday, we also sold the car and now Natalie will be driving my truck which is paid for. Much savings in car payment and insurance.

My last video went up on YouTube and I am preparing to enter into a void. Though I'll still be filming, I'm going to play it down some and focus on Pres-Service Training - learning the language, the culture, the rules and the job. It could be a month or two before I pick up the story again. And even then, I may have to send the videos back via a USB thumb drive in order for them to be uploaded in the states.

Fortunately, we did the majority of the packing yesterday as we ran out of time today with family over. Got it all in two - less than 50lb bags. A a heavy carry-on bag and personal item. It isn't the Delta flight to Washington DC that has me worried about weight, but the international flight.

I do have an extra pile of stuff to be mailed - mostly things for kids after training. Then there's a suitcase full of items Natalie can bring in July like another sleeping sack, more games, and scriptures in Malagasy. (They won't be very readable until then). The ward bishop came over to give me a blessing, then I gave Natalie a blessing.

Lincoln, Luke and McKay came over for dinner and the Superbowl played in the background.

This day has been neither fast nor slow. Everything has gotten done. Tomorrow the Adventure begins.
