TRAINING COMPLETED! ASSIGNMENTS MADE! UP TO THE MOUNTAIN!


April 25, 2013

                Our MTC is done!  What a great time!  What a wonderful group of missionaries!  On Friday afternoon, after all the training was done, everyone gathered in the chapel.  No one hardly dared to breathe.  The assignments were going to be made.  One would think we were waiting for the academy awards!  With everyone on the edge of their seats, the names and assignments were read.  Browns—Legacy Lake.  I was very pleased and know that this will be a super year!  There will be nine of us on the Lake, two more than last year.
                As we gathered with our team, everyone was so excited, except for one sister.  She was so sad.  She very sadly said, “ Of all the assignments, this is the one I did not want.  I hate and am so afraid of water”.  I so will keep her in my prayers.  This will be so hard for her.
                Assignments made, a quick trip to Dairy Keen to celebrate, and then the notice that we would move first thing in the morning.  We were up early, took everything off the cupboards and tables, unhooked from sewer and water, hooked up to the truck, and we were off.  It was such a great feeling to be headed up to the mountain. 


                We were greeted by sunny, blue skies, and about 2-3 feet of snow on the ground.  Lots of work had taken place as our spot was cleared of snow and ready for us to pull in.  We have a great place.  We are on the edge and our big back window look into the forest.  Beautiful.   Here is the view from our windows.
                                   
 
It feels so good to be in our home place for the next 6 months.  The mission is becoming more and more real.
