DAY 208 --- Progress Toward Our Ultimate Goal

One day at a time we are slowly counting down to "M DAY" when we hope to be in the process of being called to be missionaries.  It is now only a bit less than seven months.  We are still on track to realize our goal of being out of debt.  We have this financial plan and feel confident we shall arrive there without owing anyone.  What a wonderful dream come true. 

Since I started this blog when we wrote down a grundle of goals to work toward, to accomplish before June 9 next year, I have added many additional goals.  One of the new ones was to have $50,000 in the bank to support us as we serve.  Another new one was  just made a few days ago.

This new one is to get my body, my back, my  neck, and all places of my body that are weak strengthened.  I have started doing neck exercises, back exercises, and with the help of Father, and the blessing I received a little more than one week ago, I am starting to pursue that goal also.

Perhaps I need to go back and review all the many goals I have just to be sure I haven't forgotten any.  There are many things we need to do to be better missionaries. 

Bon and I are continuing to read the BOM daily.  We shall end this December 31 and then start over again.  We shall end it again in June.  Due to the "visitation" of Elsie Schaubel who died in about 1959, we have many names to do in the temple.  Our ward is going to help us finish all those names for Grandma Elsie within the next few months. 

We will both continue to serve where we have been called.  We will continue to be what we can be with our grand kids. We will continue to pray for and support our children.  We will continue to dreams dreams and see visions in preparing to be missionaries.

Bottom line, it all depends upon support, inspiration, and confirmation from Father.  So onward for another 208 days.

One thing I feel I could do much better is have a positive attitude no matter what befalls me during each day.  I find myself dwelling upon the negative, or not dwelling upon His love and support. That could be improved upon.  But we are moving forward.  Thanks be to Elder Holland for his statement about the correctness, appropriateness of dreaming dreams and working toward visions.
