Return Paperwork

There's a lot involved with serving a foreign mission. For my mission to Belgium i had to get 2 visas for belgiumand to photocopies of those, 2 visas for France and 2 phototcopies, 2 certified birth certificates, photocopies of both, a brand new passport and 3 photocopies, fingerprints and for FBI clearance *breath* and forms reguarding voluntary service, and financial guarunteed and practically everything needed to be notarized. So, for all those prospective missionaries, think twice before praying for a foreign mission, cuz after all the paperwork you still gotta learn the language! I gathered all my identity and was ready to send it off except for 13 missionary passport type photos of me. It took me a while to get them done, i guess i lost steam right before the finish line. but i submitted everything last weekend.
