Well, we sat with our bishop for a time last night. He was excited for us to be the first senior couple he will call to the mission field. We talked about finances, where we want to go, and how long we would be gone. He suggested that we check out what missions are available and decide which one we wanted to serve.
We agreed to start praying and seeking revelation to identify the place that Father wants us. He also said that we should gather our whole family together and have a short meeting, testimonies and have him preside. Sounds like a great idea, but it might be noisy with so many grand kids.
He said that three doctors will verify if we are fit enough to serve a mission. We would need a dentist, a physician, and psychologist or psychiatrist. Both of those -psych-doctors will determine if we are sane?
He suggested that we might be out in the field as early as June and late as July. Course time will tell what happens these last few months as the time draws closer. I am beginning to feel excited about serving, going, and being with Bonnie. Just a few months left.
The bishop brought up the many Conference talks that have been given to encourage senior missionaries to serve. They can do more than just celebrate as restaurants, and other places honor us by giving us a reduced fare or cost for whatever.
Well, needless to say, we are getting closer and closer. We are needed out there, touching lives, strengthening, and being strengthened. I love my Father in Heaven for the blessings we have had in the last few years to bring us to this point. The least we can do is serve Him trying to partially repay Him for the blessings we have. It is coming.
