Do you know the way to San Jose

Its hard to believe it is here. After much prayer and preparation (Almost 40 yrs) we are just about ready to go! We received our "CALL TO SERVE" on December 27. The big white envelop arrived and we waited with great anticipation for our family to gather. The Lord has called us to the San Jose Mission. We are both soo00 excited to go. There is some anxiety OK alot of anxiety about our inabilities and the unknown but at last we are about to leave for the MTC. We will spend a week there and then off to California.With the help of our sweet daughter in law (Thanks Toni) we have set up this blog to keep everyone informed and to share some of what we experience.God has been good to us to allow us this time and we promise to work hard and to be obedient.Getting ready to go has been a bit of a challenge just getting all the doctor stuff done was a major hassle. I had to get my knee fixed (surgery) and both Tanya and I got new orthodics, Yip Pee. Getting older is a pain. I didn't even know what orthodics were until I was 50. Eye glasses etc., all the fix em up stuff you have to do to your self has been real fun.I've been thinking that the young people who go out really have no idea of this part of the program. They for the most part breeze through this and are off. But us older or should I say "senior couples" well its kind of a get everything fixed so you can go deal. Its all for the best, they don't want us to break down on the mission.Well enough, with the Lords blessings and our faith in Him we are set and ready to serve. We so love and appreciate the support of our family both immediate and extended. Thank you all for your examples, your love and help getting ready.Elder Jerry and Sister Tanya Elmer(Sounds pretty cool)
