Sariah has been busy preparing for her mission. There has been a lot to do including doctor's appointments, vaccinations, shopping, reading, interviews, etc. We've enjoyed having the chance to spend a little extra time with her during this preparation. The highlight was getting to take her to the temple for her first time and then being able to return to do another session a few days later. She and I have also spent a lot of time shopping for clothes--definitely an interesting and challenging experience. Missionary clothes need to be a lot more conservative than most clothes in Sariah's size found on the racks. I am pleased to announce that we have actually had some success--finally!
As part of the preparation, Sariah spoke in church on February 17. She was well prepared and gave a really good talk. Among those that were there to witness the event, were six of her friends from school whom we'd had the privilege of hosting in our home. They were polite and well-mannered. They appreciated my cooking and, best of all, they did all the dishes!
They also provided quite a bit of entertainiment.
We enjoyed having them and hope they come back to visit again someday.
Sariah's got one more week to finish her preparations. We hope we find that red cardigan and a raincoat that fits! Soon she'll be entering the Missionary Training Center. How the time has flown!

Um, are they having a group shave? I can't believe Sariah heads out next week--time flies!
