Harold and I decided that we wanted to keep a blog while we are on our mission in New York so that we could keep friends and family updated. There are 23 days and counting until we leave, and we each time we cross something off our list, we end up adding two more tasks. We have waited a long time to be able to serve as a couple and cannot believe the day is rapidly approaching. We are excited, nervous, and humble by this opportunity to serve the Lord. We hope that this blog will be of interest and we will try to write about the wonderful experiences that are sure to come.
