April 4, 2012. We are only about two months from the "M" day, when we will see the imagined goal, the initial goal of this blog, of this journey, of our dreams. Almost 300 days ago, I began to dream of June 9, 2012. It has been a slow process counting down 365 days until our 40th Anniversary.
We have seen many miracles in the first 300 days. I am sure there are many miracles coming our way as we continue to prepare for our mission. Miracles come from our own health. Miracles in the lives of our children. Miracles in the way others react when we tell them we are leaving to go on a mission. Many miracles. There have been many miracles happen that we know not of as yet. Father is good to us.
Well, last night, April 3, 2012 WE SUBMITTED OUR PAPERS TO OUR BISHOP. Now he will review them, make sure they are correct and interview Bonnie and I to assure that we are worthy, ready,and all is in order. Then he will pass them on to our stake president and he will do the same.
After those two Priesthood leaders have approved of our representation of us, they will pass them on to the Church Headquarters. Then they go through many more examinations to assure that we are fit, healthy, a good possibility of being a great missionary couple, and even consider what we put in our preferences.
Our Preferences: We listed that we would like to go to Africa. We would love to go somewhere where I could use my Spanish. We would like to go to a CES mission location. Now we will see where the Lord wants us to go.
So now we wait. There are many things that could happen before we get a call, but we won't talk about possibilities, we will just wait, talk about what DOES happen.
We are excited. It is now in the Lord's hands and we wait.
