Preparation continuing

Any one who  says it's easy to get ready to leave your house and pack everything you need for 18 months in 2 suitcases, each not more than 50 lbs, and  move to a foreign country, a place that you don't know what is available to purchase, has to be nuts!!!

We have traveled all over the world and have an idea what we are in for. But I have never lived in a foreign county. I haven't had to shop for groceries or cook without an oven and not have available the ingredients I'm used to..

I just need to say we're in for an adventure.

And yes I can't wait.  That sounds kind of nuts too doesn't it? Singapore is 100 miles from the equator. So our weather will be very hot and raining (with mosquitoes) the whole time. No weather changes.

We will be learning to speak Malay. I'm been looking at  it on line and it's not as hard as Chinese, Japanese or Korean.  Their letters are the same as ours. But we will hire someone over there to help us learn to speak.

My packing isn't done yet.  I guess I'm hoping for a big Revelation of exactly what I will need. (Like that will happen).

We go into the Missionary Training Center on Monday, where we are trained on the service we will be doing in Singapore/Malaysia.

Our car just sold for the amount were asking. I think that was the last big detail.
Packing in progress!
