Saturday, yesterday, Bonnie and I went for a long walk. We discussed the waiting game we are playing. We discussed our upcoming mission. We shared with each other our feelings, our visions, our goals, and we are very excited to be going together. I know that we shall have a glorious mission together, growing together as one, united in many more things than now.
I know the wonderful feeling of serving 24/7 with our Savior touching our minds and hearts what we can do every day, all day long in His work. We both shed tears of upcoming joy we shall feel on the mission.
We also recalled that when my parents were waiting for one of their calls, (they served four) they were touched as we are with this one. They went through a time of waiting, anticipating, hearing so many others promise things, say it was coming, inferring certain happenings, etc, and they continued to wait and wait.
In the reality of waiting, years from now it shall not matter these waiting days, weeks we are waiting without knowing knowing anything about the 'when".
Last night we went to a High Priest's party. Saw the bishop there and he said that he had been in contact with the Headquarters about us. The system is he sends in our papers and the headquarters checks out all things. They have the need to sort of approve us BEFORE the stake interviews us, according to the bishop. After all is arranged between the bishop and the headquarters, THEN the stake president calls us in to interview us and assure we are worthy to go. So according to the bishop, everything is "good" with the headquarters and soon we shall be called in to the President's office. Then within a week or so, we shall have our call.
At least that is the up to date word from the bishop as of right now. We are ready, and things ARE progressing.
Today, we get to go to church and let things move forward at their own pace. I thoroughly enjoy our time at church, seeking inspiration, comfort, and direction. I love Sundays.
