February 3, 2012: We are departing Sunday for the MTC. It is hard to leave home and family behind, but we are really looking forward to the adventure of a lifetime. All our lives we have imagined Russia such a forbidding place, but after the call we have grown to love the opportunities that this mission holds. Tanya, our Russian tutor, has taught us that we can learn new things, and that the Russian people are very lovable. The purpose of this blog is to share our feelings with those we care for. We invite you to check as we relay our progress with this important work.
We wish you lots of success and hope all goes great. We know you will be great missionaries and you will be deeply missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you begin this new chapter of your lives. Good Luck and may God bless you both.

You may meet Jake's roommate, Blake, who volunteers to help the senior missionaries with Russian in the MTC! You will be missed in Meridian, but we are so proud of you and look forward to hearing all about the mission! Love, Jolene
