It's official!

As of two Thursdays ago, which would be...ummm...shoot, math is hard...let's see...carry the one...got it. As of nine days ago, we have been officially accepted to attend the New Tribes Missionary Training Center (MTC) in Camdenton, Missouri. We had applied just after Christmas and were excited to finally receive confirmation we would be attending this fall. It's a gorgeous campus - set on 350 acres in the Lake of the Ozarks chain - but the campus is low on housing, so we were praying there would be room for us to squeeze in. And well, God's good, and we're going.

Classes start on August 20, so at some point shortly before then we'll begin the ten-hour drive to the southwest corner of the Show-Me State. Once there, we'll begin the first of two to two and a half years of field training and linguistic training. We're both very excited, and celebrated by making homemade pizza and drinking Cherry Coke. Which is about as close to a perfect meal as you can get when you're a 23 year-old male. I don't know if Liesl saw it that way, but well...she married me, and therefore, she married pizza too!

Anyway...the countdown's begun! Only...shoot, math again...umm...seven plus forty-two is...136 days till we move!
