Dear Children,
An other week as gone by and we now have less than 2 months left here in Brussels.
This is our travel itinerary: We will leave Brussels on the afternoon of March 24 taking the TGV (bullet train) to Paris Charles de Gaulle airport (It will take 1h38). We will spend the night in a hotel and fly the next morning taking flight 0171 that arrives directly in SLC at 1:45PM. We then hope to get on flight 7774 that leaves at 2:55PM to arrive in St. George at 4:13PM.
Keep in mind that we are flying stand-by so anything can happen but we think that it will work that way.
It is a strange feeling I have thinking that I am in my last days in Belgium but it is not my home anymore. We will not miss the crazy driving in the narrow streets but the delicious food. Dad has really enjoyed the food. In fact, this noon it was saying that in 2 months he would not be able to eat the meat that we were eating and that he likes so much.
Dad has been resting better this last week and did not have to travel much. He took the President to the airport as he went to a Mission President's conference in Germany. Today, he will go pick him up.
The office Elders we have now are slower than anyone we have seen in the office. They may not stay for very long. In fact, the legal secretary told me that he was the last person that should have been called to that position because he is very unorganized. He added "I don't know what I am doing, Sister Wortham". I hope that he will tell that to President.
There is a bird in our backyard that has been singing all morning. Spring is coming and I love it.
Did you hear that Becky will have a baby boy in May? I love this kind of good news.
I will have to think of what to talk about in my next talk. I know that it will come and I hate speaking in public. I become so nervous that I forget everything, and I mean everything. I just have a big blank in my head and it is very frustrating and humiliating at the same time.
Tito is doing well in the Hong-Kong mission, and for those who may not know, Jonathan is Assistant to his Mission President. Lawrence has already returned from his mission in Thailand.
On February 7th, Dad's birthday, we have been invited to eat out with our Mission President. It will be nice.
We would love to hear from those who do not write.
Keep us informed. If you want me to continue writing let me know or I will stop.
I love you.
Mom

Enjoy these last few months. Glad to hear all is well.
Ttttrrrrrruuuuunnnnnkkkkkyyyyy!
We are really NOT trunky but President is worried about our replacement and we have to talk about it. We are too busy with our work to be trunky. Since we provide our own transportation going home, we have to prepare for this. We bought our ticket on the TGV and Dad was very surprised that Brussels-Paris Airport cost only $25.00 each. He thought that it would be more expensive. Prices differ during the day and I chose a time when it is the least expensive since we had a choice.
I love this Blog. Thanks Alan. M
