Travel Documents Completed

When we arrived home last Friday we discovered a long list of items the Church Travel Office needs before we can go to Iceland. The list - Signed passports (we got those in September last year), 2 photocopies of the passport photo/ID page (easy), Residence Permit (easy to complete), 3 Passport type photos (just sent the ones we used for our passports to Walgreen's and walked over and picked them up), Notarized police letter (a challenge as the person who does them has been out. When I went to pick them up they were not notarized as requested. I was told to come back later as the person was busy. Same story when I came back later but the clerk at the window was very nice and somehow got them notarized for me), Application for sickness cost insurance (for Iceland) (not to difficult), Authorization form (easy) and finally 2 photocopies of marriage certificate (finding it was a question but found right away). So today with our police letter finally in hand I overnighted all to the Church Travel Department as requested. It is no wonder missionaries assigned to Iceland spend their entire mission in Iceland. Also an interesting day - Iceland experienced a 6.1 earthquake.

So you have decided to accept the call. Mom didn't seem to sure about it when she was here.

There are two branches in Iceland, one in the capital of Reykjavik, the other in a little town an hour away called Selfoss. The members mostly speak English and there are quite a few international members there as well, so you will feel right at home right away. I served there in 84-86. My blog about it is at www.icelandmission.blogspot.com.
