It's been fun. As of Thursday I'll be expected to live the mission rules - which in my case is email through the church-provided service for family only. davidp should be back any day now, but on Friday morning I'm driving to Utah, attending a small family reunion, and then on Wednesday I'll be reporting to the missionary training center to learn Spanish and take some classes on teaching the gospel. I'll be there 6-8 weeks before heading to Long Island and Staten Island for 2 years.
