One week to go

April 24, 2011

Last week we had our farewell.  Sister Jorgensen took most of the time so I didn't have to talk too much.  Saturday Morning we will be set apart by President Harrison, Sunday morning we will say farewell to all of our ward members and Monday morning early we catch the plane for  Salt Lake City where we transfer to a shuttle to take us to the MTC in Provo.  Five days later we will be through with our training and then on Monday we will be off to Nairobi Kenya.  We have had a fun few weeks getting the house emptied out so Alexandra and Brent can move in and getting the farm ready for us to leave.

March 23 update

We have had all of our shots now.  The Yellow Fever shot caused me (Errol) to have a lot of pain everywhere that I have a touch of arthritis.  The typhoid pills caused Fran to be really sick with all of the listed side effects.  That is nausea, bloating , vomiting, cold and feverish etc.  Fortunately we are getting over these side effects.

We are getting things packed up to leave the house to Alexandra and Brent our granddaughter and her husband.  Fran has already had a problem needing things that I had boxed up and put into storage.  She didn't like my system and went and opened the boxes and wrote down what was in them.  She doesn't like the "surprise system".
 
Our Mission farewell will be on the 17th of April at the north Blackcat building at 2:20 p.m.  Fran said that she will probably blubber through the entire thing which means her talk will be really short.  I wonder if the bishop would like to take about a half hour.

Here We Go

We are two months and counting before we leave for an adventure of a lifetime.  On February 3, 2011 Errol and I (Fran) were called to the Kenyan, Nairobi Mission.  We are scheduled to enter the Missionary Training Center in Provo, Utah on Monday May 2, 2011.  We will spend one week preparing for our trip.  We will have Saturday and Sunday off and our son and his family will be coming to pick us up to spend the weekend with us.  Then off to the Salt Lake airport where our flight will leave at 9:45 am.  Our first stop Dallas, Texas.  Our next stop is London, England and then straight on to Nairobi, Kenya.  This blog has been created to keep all of our friends and family informed of our adventures in Kenya.  This is the temple that we will be closest to.  We hope you will follow this blog and leave us some encouraging comments.
