We found out that he can have LDS music like our favorites by Jeff Goodrich. =] We have at least 4 discs of Mormon Tabernacle Choir already loaded onto his MP3 player; therefore, he will have plenty of choices with his companion if they want to listen to music.
We found out that he will be in the MTC for 3 weeks. We thought he might be in only for a week and a half; however, the mission president stated they are not expecting the missionaries until the 12th of Feb. I guess I was right, I was thinking he'd be there around Valentines. The President said that they are busy expanding the mission, getting apartments, etc. They are expecting 19 other missionaries with Anthony on the 12th. =0 Than another 26 the following month. Holy Cow! My friend Tom who said he hadn't seen the missionaries anywhere in Utica or in his town; I believe that is about to change!
Yesterday, we were treated to a Farewell Dinner to Anthony by David and Linda Polugar. David is a fantastic chef and we feasted on Parmesan Chicken with salad and Red Velvet Cake for dessert. We've known Linda for about 15 or 16 yrs. She's pretty much watched Anthony grow up. In the past 5 yrs David and Linda have become pretty much my kids God-parents - if we were Catholic that is. ;] David is a big scouter and very helpful to getting Anthony done with his Eagle.
We are down to the final hours - I have work Monday and Tuesday to finish my payroll and balance. Tuesday night will be spent getting everything in his suitcases, crossing off his lists - leaving out only what he needs for the next morning. I'm sure we will head to lunch before our 2:00 pm deadline at the MTC.
