Going to Turks

Hi guys....

Mom and I finished our last day of training here in Jamaica today. What an experience this has already proved to be. Tomorrow we get to see the island we have been assigned to for the first time...yahoo! I'm glad the we are not stationed here in Jamaica. As well as the humidity being unworldly, crime is rampant. We've been told there is basically no problem with crime on the Turks. Our mission president and his wife have been most gracious while we have been here. It feels as though we have known them for many years and been good friends for a long time...instead of just 3 days.
When we leave tomorrow, that may be the end of our emails with you until we find out what the set-up is on the island. We will be flying directly from Jamaica to Turks instead of going to Miami in between. So that means we won't be able to call like we were hoping to do. Just know that we are safe and well, and that we're excited to do the Lord's work. I love your mother so much. It is truly a blessing for me to be able to spend time with her during this adventure.
Please know that we love you all so much... and that we love our grandbabies that much too.

Bye for now...

Love,

Dad
