Well, everyone - We're not sure what is getting through to you and what isn't.  We sent an email this morning (Sat.) to say that we would be available to Skype on Sat. morning your time.  I'm so sorry that it didn't go through.  We are very grateful, however, that we were able to reach Matt and see his cute family - even saw Summer's walking video!

We're hanging in there.  We've finished our official training and the area conference starts on Monday.  It will be held at our hotel, so we'll have a chance to meet all of the couples in our area who have the same job we do only in different countries.  Hopefully, we will get some good insight from them.

Our training couples have been wonderful and have tried to make this as easy a transition as possible.  Anyway, I just wanted you to know how much I love being your mother.  If I had to tell someone what my greatest accomplishment and joy in this life is, it is that I was privileged enough to have such wonderful children. Thank you for bringing such honor to me. I love you all more than I can express.  Love,  Mom
