I love Elder Holland. He is the one who was the inspiration to get me started on this blog. Going on a mission is our main goal. My bishop wants to get us out of here. My boss is refusing to accept that we want to go in less than seven months. My kids are sort of in the opinion that we will wait and see what happens. Bonnie and I surely want to go as soon as possible.
Bonnie just read Elder Hollands message of October Conference where Elder Holland talked about going on a mission, how much the Lord needs missionaries. She cried and felt the "call" that we need to go, that there is a place waiting for us, even waiting for our abilities where we can serve twenty four seven.
A brother with whom I work said that he heard Elder Holland mention a statement when he was talking to those at BYU, those who were anticipating getting married. Elder Holland said that those young kids needed to find another to compliment them. He said the young men should look for a young woman who had holes in her head where the rocks in his head would fit and fill them up.
I guess that is a different way of defining marriage. It is when the rocks in one's head fit into the holes in another's head. Bonnie was deaf and blind when she married me. She was deaf and thus didn't hear all the crazy things I said before we got married. She was blind not to see how ugly I was.
Anyway, whatever the reasons why we got married, I am sure our rocks and holes are joining together to make us much better people, that is what is really a marriage, where one helps make whole the other one. She is surely trying to do that in my case.
