Well, yesterday we started to fill out the papers for our mission. You would not believe what they ask. Can you walk up stairs? Can you work a full day? Do you have the sniffles? Have you ever had them before? Are you taking any meds? Are you under a doctors care? Where have you served thrin the Kingdom oughout your life? Do you know what a transfer is? What does "Riding you bags" mean? Are you trunky? What does trunky mean?
No, they were not all there, but they ask everying in the world except what is your favorite color. I guess the brethren have to know what you think, do you think and how much to do you think? Are you a thinkaholic?
I am sorry, I am making fun of the challenge to fill out all those questions. If I was a mechanic, I am sure, or at least would assume they would send me to a place that needs a mechanic. If I speak Spanish (Which I do) then they will probably send me to China, or to Salt Lake City.
I really shouldn't make fun of any of this, for it is the way to serve a mission and I am sure there are many concrete reasons why each question is asked, and I am sure that there are people who look at every answer we put on those papers. There are good reasons, thus I should repent from my "tongue in cheek".
Anyway, we are in process, and we plan on submitting our papers in mid April. Of course that is our plan right now, but we shall do so if nothing else falls out of place. Goals still are goals. Dreams still are dreams. We are only 118 days away from our M day. Excitement is coming and I hesitate to dream too much about serving a mission with Bonnie, for I won't get anything else done. It is going to be so wonderful to serve full time in another location, even Toelle.
