Well today is a RED LETTER day for me. We got word that my (Terry) paper work was turned over to the Office Elders who turned it over to the Mission Secretary who intern sent it to Salt Lake. The missionary travel office called and said they were forwarding it to the Jamaican Embassy in Florida with a rush written all over it. Hopefully we will still be able to go to the MTC this Monday. There is a chance that we will be delayed a week. I'll be in touch.

I hate 3rd world snags.
We were doing a follow-up on my paperwork that was sent to the Department of Labor in Jamaica where they process the "Non Work Permit". The non-work permit is apparently a precursor to getting a Visa.
The mission secretary checked and the Department of Labor said they have lost my application.
Well it looks like a re-set I suppose.
We did a fast scramble and sent the needed forms to the mission so they could take them over for review and approval, we hope.
Hopefully they feel bad for the loss and will process it on the spot, or at least move it to the front of the line.
The time is getting short, but I have that peaceful feeling that things will fall in place to accommodate our October 1st MTC date.
Keep smiling and praying.

Well Here we go again!
Sue and I have been called to serve again in the mission field. We are to report to the Mission Training Center (MTC) on October 1st for a fun filled week of training. Then we fly to Jamaica on Saturday the 6th of October. We are very excited to serve again, and we have heard lots of good things about the Jamaica Kingston Mission. We will be serving with a brand new Mission President named Tony Parker from Atlanta. We have spoken to him and his wife Lina on the phone and they sound like they will be great to work with. We hope to post weekly on the BLOG.
Oh there is one thing that is the icing on the cupcake...the McKenzies will be serving in the same mission. Lee and Pam McKenzie are dear friends and relatives. Pam is Sister Barneys sister.
They say you can pick your friends but you cant pick your relatives....well we would choose them on both counts. If you follow us, you will get to know the McKenzies and the Parkers.
