MTC Update

We finished our first week and survived. 8 am to 8 pm everyday. It was fun but glad that it is over. We were sprung by Amber last night and stayed at Elena's house. Went to the temple with Aunt Cindy this morning and are going to a sendoff for Megan's husband tonight as he is going to be posted to Afganistan for 1 year. Should see most of the family there. This coming week is Temple training and then we are off to Fiji on Friday afternoon. It's been cold and snowy but bearable. Will be glad to get to the warm Fiji weather. Mom did real well with the language training and will be able to handle herself when we get there.

Well dear loved ones; our adventure has begun. We have 2 single sisters in our group of about 24 couples. Anyways one sister had blood clots and became very ill and had blood clots in her right leg. The doc said it was sorta common and that he thought it was the chairs. Finally she came back to our group. My ankles both burned and had this terrible shooting pain started in both legs .We went from class I would keep my feet moving the table, but the pain kept getting worse. I thought what the sister had told me. Then the pain started moving up both legs. Finally I could not sit in my language class. The pain by now was in both hips. I went to bed and had to decide what to do. I decided that the clots had moved as fast as the had, that they were tiny. Amber picked us up and they were in the middle of my back. I will never sit in a chair like that again. God watches over fools and old ladies-I am in both groups. My legs felt on fire! All is well! Love mom.
