I can envision that time in the not too distant future where we will be serving somewhere, totally absorbed in the work of our Savior. There won't be any remembrance of these days when we are anxiously awaiting our mission call. No, not just waiting our mission call, but awaiting the interview with the Stake President. Our call is waiting for something, for our papers won't go in until the Stake President pushes the button and sends it into the Headquarters.
I am sure there are reasons, but now that we are ready to go, are doing the things to prepare, we have filled out the paper work, and it is out of our hands, I can't help but question why the delay.
Today in Family Relations class, (Bonnie and I have been asked to take that class to lend old people's perspective) (Or we are taking it to improve our marriage, who knows?) they were saying that 70% of all men's socks were found on the floor, irritating the wife. I guess I have never been one of those 70%. Anyway, our teacher said that socks on the floor does not have any significance in the Eternal Scheme of things.
Well, considering our waiting, me learning patience, I guess that in the Eternal Scheme of things, this waiting for our mission call does not matter either, and we won't even remember it later. I guess that is the gist of learning patience. Evaluate the things we are waiting for compared with the Eternal Scheme of things.
So I continue to wait patiently? for our Stake President to call us in. I am excited. We are excited to see where we will be called to serve. We are excited to go and serve twenty four seven in His work, leaving behind so many mundane, insignificant things, things like socks on the floor of the bed room.
