It is OFFICIAL. After many phone calls and interviews and even lunch at the Church Office Building, Elder Wickman called today to extend the call! Jim will be serving as associate legal counsel to the Eastern Europe Area located in Moscow Russia. Susan will be serving with him under the direction of the Area Presidency. We will leave the first part of December. Our calll is for 18 months. We will not be going to the MTC and we will not be wearing name tags. We understand that the winters are very cold (highs are in the 20's) and the nights are extremely long, but the summers are in the 60's maybe 70's and the sun will only disappear for a while at midnight. We are very excited to be going to a new place. Jim is learning the cyrillic alphabet and Susan is wondering about a Russian fur hat...coat...boots...long underware...(just think in layers).
We are so happy that we can be together and serve a mission.
