The Real Deal

Monday of this week we finally got word that New Zealand Immigration approved our visas.  That leaves us only two weeks till April 29th when we will report to the MTC.  We will fly out on May 6th.  We had our mission farewell on March 17th at that time not knowing when and where we would finally serve.  In late February we learned that NZ had regected Dian's visa application having before had a bout with cancer.  We learned that is standard procedure for NZ for anyone who has had a serious health issue before in their lives.  The church resubmitted the application and added a month to our reporting date.  So now we have the real feeling that our lives will be changing quickly.
