Temporary Reassignment

Dad forwarded the following email:

We are finally settled as to what is going to take place. We are a little unsure of what is indicated by the word "French" in front of our MLS (member, leader support) assignment. It would be nice to learn French, but if we are only going to be there for a short time, I think I will opt to be in an English speaking location. We may have to beef up our cold weather clothing. It is still our hope that India will be not far down the calendar. We really are looking forward to having a chance to spend time in our temporary location. We think that Ottawa will be a possibility. We are keeping very busy and each day leaves very little time for washing clothes, shopping, personal study or anything else. The alarm doesn't like me. It keeps making noises at 5:15 AM or 5:45 on a good day.
