Yes; you are right. Our mission is still over 4 months away but those months will be filled with so much that the mission, itself, seems right around the corner; besides, we just received the flight information to Romania. The March and April calendars were zoos and the forthcoming months will be just as crowded. We have May to get the house as ready as possible (inspect and service the heater, pump the septic, paint, etc.) and to get us ready [shots, language (preps to continue through September), etc.]. Karley and kids come in late May; hopefully Al will be able to join us sometime during their stay. Rachael is coming sometime during the fray; again, hopefully, Chris will join us for a few days (he will be busy with summer sports). Ken will do whatever he can with the clan around; Krisy will be working through late June. July we travel to see the kids that won't be coming to the house and bring Marci home for a bit. Carey and family will be coming sometime during the month and maybe even more. Late July/early August is the beach house trip. Todd and family return with us through mid-August. Last minute preparations are slated for late August (I hope we won't have many but that never happens). We are off to the Salt Lake area and Provo in early September (10 days at the MTC) and then fly out for Romania 19 September.
The language is coming along; both of us are having trouble letting our Italian and Spanish pronunciation habits crowd out what we know should be the proper Romanian pronunciation. We each meet with both our coach and tutor once a week for a total of two hours and try to practice with each other (Krisy is much better than me with her practice).
