Well, I talked to my boss on Friday and updated him about our progress on our way to leaving. In just four and one half months, we will be realizing our goal. I am assuming that nothing negative is going to happen, thus we will be ready to go. We have a appointment with our bishop this coming Tuesday when we will be talking about how things are going to work out and how we will be going. I have been told that there are 55 pages to fill out. We should have started last June....
My boss listened and now I am wondering what he was thinking. I said some very pointed things about his manner of managing the business. I compared his way with my way, and there are many differences. I hope he was not hurt, but I did tell him my thoughts and my insights. I wonder what will happen tomorrow when I go to work. He asked me if my way or his way was better. All I said was that I would not judge his way, and there were benefits in both manners.
We have talked to each of our children this past week and invited them to participate in the blessings of supporting a missionary. It is very interesting how differently each one of them responded. Each of the six children are all different. We brought them up the same way, but each one is unique. Of course each one is married to a wife or husband that is also different. But it is very interesting to us the difference and the similarities.
Considering all the goals and dreams I have shared in this blog, there are many things that have not been accomplished yet. There are many miracles and tender mercies that could happen in the next few months. And of course, perhaps none of them will happen.
In church this past month, the subject of the month has been enduring trials and learning from them. If we do not realize many of those dreams, we will have learned lessons from striving for them. We have had many witnesses that we will go, but we may not be as prepared as we originally hoped we would be. Like my pregnant body, not as slim as I originally planned.
I often wonder why I write this blog. It is for me. Is it for those who read it. Or is it just because I said I would long ago. Or will this blog be for posterity. Not prosperity, by my descendants. Often I pause with a blank page in front of me and wonder why I do it. Often I sit and things flood into my mind to write. Many are referring to missions and many are just thoughts that are going through my mind.
Either way, I will continue for whatever reason. Thoughts keep going through my mind, my fingers keep pushing these keys on the keyboard, and the days until M day are keep getting smaller. Lessons learned.
