Flying out Today

We are leaving for the airport as we speak. We fly out on Delta at 4:40 pm and go to Paris where we change planes and fly into Ljubljana, Slovenia where we will be picked up by Pres. and Sister Hill.

We will be flying with five Elders and 3 Sisters also going to Slovenia and Croatia. We went to the MTC last night for the Farewell Fireside. They actually had all the Senior Couples separated from the young missionaries because of the flu. Don't want any of us getting sick.

Thanks to so many of you have helped prepare us for this day. We love and appreciate each and every one of you. A special thanks to our family, children, grandchildren, brothers and sisters. You are such an inspiration to us and we love you all. We will be sending more information as we get settled.

President Hill said to bring our faith, diligence and flexibility with us and we suggest each of us carry that along with us wherever we go.

Our First Call for Help

We are going to be participating in a YSA Conference in July and have been asked to facilitate a workshop on "Fun and Inexpensive Dating Activities". We need your help. Please send me some of the fun and interesting experiences you have had dating. You can email it to paulmarjean@yahoo.com or just reply on the blog. Thanks so much. Pictures would be fun too.

Also do you have any fun mixer games. We have over 150 youth signed up to come and need some ways to get them to interact.

We leave Monday at 4:40 pm and arrive in Ljubljana, Slovenia Tuesday at 3:05 pm. We fly straight to Paris and make a change there. That will be a challenge for Elder Lewis to be on the plane for 10 hours straight.
