Family Mapping Ceremony
There are 193 of us here for 7 1/2 weeks. Our first Sunday evening here, we had a ceremony where everyone introduced their family and placed a photo on the map in the country to which they were going. It was a very moving service. (By the way, we usually get to sit in chairs when we have classes, but the map is located out in the lobby and would not hold enough chairs for everyone!)
Glenn places our picture on Hungary.
Our classes have been excellent, the work load challenging, and the weather gorgeous! Our classes today were all on Anthropology. Okay, it wasn't one of the best, but the rest have been really good! Along with our required classes, we are being encouraged to take advantage of extra curricular courses such as cooking from scratch, hair cutting, blogging, CPR, how to drive a stick-shift, etc. All those practical classes!
We also had to weigh-in when we arrived and must log at least 30 minutes of strenuous exercise 3-4 times a week, minimum, and then there will be a final weigh-in at the end. Glenn and I usually walk really fast from our apartment out to the entrance gate and back (which is about a mile each way) 4-5 times a week.
We have on our walking clothes and are headed out to the front gate. Today we had to increase our distance and our walking speed to make up for our sins over the weekend.
KRISPY KREMES!
We shared them, of course, but are paying for the ones we ate!

Oh my... those Krispy Kreme boxes seem to follow you everywhere, don't they? I must say that your "Eclectic Adults" Sunday school class always had the BEST food (the teaching wasn't too shabby, either!). Glad to hear that you shared the donuts.. :<)
I love your Lyon sweatshirt!! Which of your favorite daughters-named-Kari gave you that one?
Good luck walking off those KK sins. Of course, next time you could just walk to KK! 2 birds - one stone. :)
Weighing in and weighing out of ILC...that's pretty intense! Guess they want to make sure they are not the cause of anyone gaining weight?? Send people off healthy and in good habits??
Love the pics! Thanks to Kari's suggestion I'm going to copy and paste her blog and yours into a word document so Chris can read them at home and keep up with everything!
Love ya,
Kate
