Just sold the last of our cars. We are totally transportation deprived unless we decide to drive the riding lawnmower. Finished our last week of training at FamilySearch where we learned more about cameras than I ever thought was possible. Apparently we will be digitising records at the National Archives of Great  Britain just out side of London.  Once we get settled in our new flat (in early March) they tell us that we will have about a 7 or 8 minutes walk to our place of work.

Went to Church this morning and ever since have been packing and getting ready to unplug all the appliances and give back our cable, internet, phone, etc. equipment on the way to the airport.  Our daughter, Kathie, will be taking us to the airport.  We first fly to Las Vegas, Nevada (yes, that's kind of going the wrong direction), then from Las Vegas to London, England (about 10 hours on the plane).  We're supposed to be picked up at the airport and taken to the Mission Home. 


Then we'll be met and introduced to our work on Wednesday morning.  On Thursday, the record office is going to teach us how to handle the precious old documents.  Then each of us will operate a camera and try to capture a good quality image as fast as is reasonable. 

Our year and a half journey begins on Monday about noon.  Looking forward to a marvelous experience!!

The picture is one showing us operating a camera.
