President and Sister Pratt: Orlando Vacation

We spent last week in Orlando, Florida with Molly and her family.

Mike had signed up for a Principal's Convention so we purchased tickets in December.

Then in January, the legislature cut funding so the trip was cancelled. However, our tickets were not refundable and we had already paid for the condo and it was within the 60 day cancellation time as well.......so we went on vacation anyways!

Shawn had springbreak so they drove down from Athens, GA. About a 7 hour drive.

It was great to see them. I sure miss the girls.

We stayed in a great condo just outside the park.

Molly had just bought a new van so it was great to get around in.

The weather was soooooooooo nice. Sunshine everyday. The girls were great.

We started early each day and left when the parks closed.

Dad and I diligently studied Russian.

Each night at 10:00 pm our tutor, Phil, would call from the MTC and we would have our lesson over the phone for 2 hours!!!!

No rest! But it was great. We learned alot. It was fun studying in the lines. We packed our pockets with flash cards each day and we all learned the days of the week, how to count to 10, and how to get aquainted!

And of course we said all our prayers in Russian and practiced our testimonies.

I also learned 3 hymns...I Know My Father Lives, I Am A Child of God, & Called to Serve.

Mike is getting good at D&C 4, James 1:5 & Moroni 10:3-5
