Still waiting

We are still patiently (we have no other choice), waiting and have still not seen the envelope containing our precious Visas. Everyday we wait for our dedicated mail carrier to deliver our key to the future. If we don't receive it before the MTC date, we have two choices. 1. Wait to go into the MTC until it arrives or 2. Go to the MTC as scheduled for the week and go back and stay in town until they come.
We will turn over our home to my Sister-in-law when we leave and I would not impose on her by coming back as her guests. Our daughter K has informed us that we can stay in her home until D. day. It would not be easy to put up with us if that happens. We would be like a couple of kids waiting for Christmas morning. So everyone pray that the Belgium officials can finally agree to let these two crazy people enter.

We have received several E-mails from the mission office. We do know we will be speaking Dutch so we are practicing our native language. The funny thing is, the Dutch have really adopted a lot of American words as their own, we found that out last summer when we visited there. They do however claim to be the ones coming up with the words in the first place. (Are we surprised?)
