Last Day at the MTC

Dear Family:

Here we are on our last day.  Each day  has been quite busy, what with eating three meals a day and sitting for hours in meetings, but we have enjoyed the lessons and the presenters.  We had our first lesson in Albanian last night and will have another one tonight.  He taught us how to pronounce the alphabet.  Oh my, I am not sure my tongue can handle all this.  Tonight we have two more hours, I can hardly wait.

Tuesday night we had a devotional where Bishop Edgley and Pauline spoke.  They did a great job and we were able to talk with them after.  Darrell Stacey was also there, he is a branch president at the MTC.  He asked us to meet with him and some of his elders after the devotional.  We listened as each one bore their testimony of what they learned that night.  Then Darrell asked dad and I to bear our testimony.  It was a wonderful experience.  The elders were so good.

Well, we leave tomorrow at 5:00 a.m.  Not my finest hour, but we will manage.  Dad has carried all our suitcases down stairs to weigh them and then carried them back up again.  We had to repack a few, but think we are ok.  We still have our peanut butter.  Hope you are all doing well, and keeping us in your prayers.  We will write again when we get to Albania.

Love you,  Mom and Dad
