Things are getting closer and closer for sending our mission papers in.  Dad is having his stress test this morning and I have an exam tomorrow. If all goes well with those exams, the only thing remaining is a photograph to attach to the papers and they will be ready to go.  Amazing how exciting the prospects have been and as it gets closer how nervous I am about leaving.  Wondering where we might be in a few months and the thoughts of being away from family for so long is hard.  Leaving mom is a very difficult thought.
