DAY 75 --- Where Do We Want To Go?

Everywhere I go, please ask where do you want to go?  Once we entertained the idea of going to Nauvoo.  It is funny that there is a two to three year waiting list to go to Nauvoo.  That brings up an interesting fact.  The Church is trying to satisfy the needs and the desire of senior couples.  They do have a place on the papers we fill out asking what is our preference.

Now there are many "kinds" of missions as well as locations.  We are asked what our experience has been.  That would be to support our goals and dreams of a mission.  There are missions where what you do is landscaping.  There are mechanical work, painting, doctoring, musical, etc.  There are kinds of missions, depending upon the couples wishes.  There are missions to serve in managing the Perpetual Education Fund.  There are those managing the fleet of vehicles in a mission. There are those at historical sights, as my parents served in Palmyra.  There are those to work with Family as my parents did in France.  There are many kinds of mission, not even considering the location.

There are missions to serve with the youth.  There are those to teach in Church Education System.  There are those to just nurture new members of the Church.  There are those to work on building temples as well as buildings.  There are those to serve in temples worldwide.  There is almost any kind of mission one would imagine.

And then of course there is the location to consider.  Since I speak Spanish, there are many countries in South America.  We would love to go overseas, away from the United States.  We would love to go to New Zealand, as well as Australia.  We would love to go to Europe, South Africa, the Middle East, and even to Alaska or Hawaii.

Where do we want to go?  Just somewhere to serve our Savior in the Kingdom. There are saints all over the world.  We will be happy no matter when they send us. 

On the bottom of the paper work, it asks something like, "Though you have put down your preferences, we would ask you to serve wherever the Brethren send you even if it is not according to what you have specified."  Where do we want to go?  We just want to go.
