DAY 147 -- Time to Fix Bodies, and other Goals

It is time.  We only have 147 days to be ready for our call.  In that time, we have much to do, besides the dreams that have to be realized    (My sister asked where I was on my dream, goal to "find" $50,000.  I smiled and said I had collected about ten dollars toward that.  God is a God of Miracles.  Patience, right?)

Less than five months. We have to check out our bodies, for the application to become missionaries is filled with health concerns, questions, and such. So, we need to make sure we are as healthy as we need to be.  It might take a major overhaul of one of us, or perhaps just a change of oil. 

Either way it is time to start lubing and oiling our bodies.  It is also time to evaluate our finances.  June will be here before we know it and we will be required to tell the bishop the financial preparation we have as well as the financial needs we have. 

So, without that $50,000, we will need to check out how we can support ourselves on a mission to anywhere.  I know we are going, and I know there is a certain place we need to go, but I do not know how we can go financially.  Again, five months is ample time to figure that out.  But I have to have that in place to send in our missionary papers. 

We will be out of debt in June or July, and then we can go.  At least it is required to be out of debt before we go, and thus we have a plan to do so.  After debt is gone then it is time to go.  We will let our loved ones know of this need and we shall see if other can help in supporting us.  Then after that is fixed, we will talk to our bishop and let him know our circumstances.

Father knows all of these things.  He knows where we are and where we want to get to by June 9.  He is controlling things in our life that will help us learn lessons, strengthen faith, and praise him continually due to the tender mercies we will witness in the next five months, for I know they are there and will be made known to us. 

So, bottom line, we continue to move toward our mission, we continue to exercise faith in Father about our fixing of our bodies and fixing of our bank accounts.  All will fall into place in His due time.  I am getting more and more excited about serving as missionaries.
