Dear Children,
Yesterday, we were invited to my sister, Josiane, for dinner. She is an excellent cook and we had a wonderful meal. My other sister, Claudine, was there and I had talked to Monique earlier. It was a good day. The drive to her house we went by Namur, my native town, and I was a bit melancholy seeing it one last time.
Tomorrow, we are invited to have dinner at our old Bishop's.
This Tuesday, we will have President Robert Oaks of the Europe West Area in the office for an official visit of the mission. We will meet again for a Zone Conference with all the 90 French speaking missionaries this coming Friday. I am in charge of the Lunch and it should be easy because we will only have sandwiches, fruits, dessert and drinks. There is more to buy but it is not a big deal. It should be fun to see many missionaries that we have not seen in a while.
Friday, our replacement will arrive for good but will let us stay in our apartment until Monday. Then, we will spend the night at the Mission President's home and take the TGV to Paris the next afternoon and be on our way home. As a reminder, we take the flight 0171 direct to SLC on the 25th and hope to get the flight to St. George at 2:55PM arriving in St. George at 4:13PM. If we cannot get that flight, we will get the next that arrives 2 hours later. We will not have a cell phone with us until we start a new plan and get new phones. All the phone numbers that you had for us are not good anymore. We will have to restart our Internet also. I hope that everything will go fast to able us to communicate with you.
I am fighting a cold again but there is so much to do that I don't have the time to rest.
Tomorrow, Dad is going to Amsterdam to make an inventory of the apartment that he is closing and give the keys back to the owner. Everything should go smoothly and there is no physical work involved. It is a day that he will enjoy because he likes being on the road much better than to work in the office. As for me, it will be a very busy day. Just the way I like them!
Next Saturday should be very busy because we will be in the middle of preparing our suitcases and deep cleaning the apartment. We will have dinner at Teresa's that day and we certainly will treasure our time with the family.
I think that is about all for today.
Take good care of yourselves. You are in our daily prayers.
We love you.
Love,
Mom

Wow, you are coming home. It does not seem like that long, where do the time go?
Looking forward to seeing you some time. Our timing stinks though since we will be arriving in Brussels on the first week of April.
What am I? Rubbish? It doesn't stink, because I am still here! :)
