 :yahoo;
we finished training today in north little rock (about 2 hours away)
we (mom and i) did our first exchange around 8 tonight
dad questioned why we were doing everything we did and what we were to do if something bad happened
he wasn't bored and as uninterested in the training or asleep through the training like we all thought

now we wait for another 2 hours for 1 to get here to do his next exchange
 :shy; mom and i are so happy~~maybe dad's mind wasn't affected by his stroke like we thought
maybe he has just been severely depressed

the months supplies get delivered tomorrow and we are anxious to see how much space the supplies take up

:thumbup; Congratulations!! Be prepared for lots of supplies for the first delivery. You tend to get more than you will need for the first month, after the first, it gets easier.
