We visited  Carol's parents in Idaho on our way to the Mission Training Center.  It was wonderful to be near  family, especially for Bob's 88th birthday for a week.   We stopped at Shoshone Falls at Twin Falls, Idaho on our way as we traveled to the MTC,

When we arrive at Salt Lake we stayed with my brother Paul.  We celebrated my sister Nellie's birthday.  We had a lovely luncheon at the Olive Garden Restaurant. Paul took us to the MTC on Monday.

While at the MTC we were privileged to visit the Provo Temple and complete some temple work for a friend at home. The temple was so beautiful in side.  It was such a spiritual experience. 









We have completed a week at the MTC with one more week of training left.  We will bea  office mission couple supporting the young missionaries.  We are learning all the administration and use of computers for this calling.  I am looking forward to teaching piano and keep up on my skills as I teach.  We will be on our way to South Africa on June 13.  It will be exciting to be on our way after waiting for so long.
