Well, another day gone, another Sunday and we still haven't talked with our Stake President. Today when I talked with my Bishop, he said, "Things take time. Are you OK?" I said of course. I am just learning patience and it takes time to do that, right? Over a week ago, he said that all things were done and we should be talking with the President, however a week has gone by and now he says that it takes time.
It is like being in your racing duds and ready to start the race. You are at the starting line waiting for the gun to signal the beginning of the race. You anticipate and listen intently for the sound, but it does not come. We are ready to start the race, ready to fun, ready to begin serving, but don't hear the signal. Many people has asked if we are "anxious." I guess we are. What can you say?
We are reading "Preach My Gospel" every Sunday. Each week we read a chapter. It is written specifically for younger missionaries. At least as far as we have read, it is for those young missionaries. Perhaps as we get into Preach My Gospel more, it may be for us OLDER ones.
As we read it, it tells us what to do when we teach. Then we pause and wonder if we will be teaching at all. I guess when the starting gun sounds, we will have more of an idea what we will be doing. Or perhaps not? I don't know.
It is a joy to spend time with our kids and grand kids. Saturday we attended a birthday party for one of our younger ones. I looked around, seeing most of my kids and their families and wondered how many more times I would be able to do that. The way things are seeming to go, we may be here next May 5th for her next birthday party. I assume that was very much a bad attitude and not prophetic?
Yes, it takes time bishop and we will wait as long as it takes. We continue to prepare. We went to the temple and did Initiatory and again marveled in the blessings that are pronounced there. I am sure we will miss the blessings of the temple, if we go.... I mean if we go to a place where there is not a temple.
