I guess those of you who don't want to read this, since we are beyond M day, you can stop reading this at any time. But I feel it isn't over yet, since I have not, cannot report about the mission we will serve, the when and the where.
I talked to the Stake President today and he asked if the church had called me yet. I replied that they have not called. When we were in our interview, he said that often then do call the couple who wants to serve. Often they discuss with the future senior missionaries their upcoming assignments. So, perhaps we need to wait until they call. Who knows. (By the way, my good friend Orrin Hatch has stopped calling me!)
I felt another "revelation" also. I felt the Spirit telling me, ".. know this my son that these things (waiting, waiting, and continuing to wait) will gain thee experience, and shall be for thy good." As I try to imagine our mission, I know that this waiting will be over quickly. I know that the patience, the lessons I am learning by waiting will be used in our mission.
Though it is a challenge to answer questions continually thrown at us from well intending members of our ward about where and when we are going, we are learning to be patient, wait upon the Lord and keep our excitement for a mission vibrant. Bonnie suggested the other day that they that wait upon the Lord shall mount up on eagle wings... My impatience is slowly leaving. And what we are learning is multifaceted.
I guess at least for a time, I will continue this blog. I mean I must record the miracles leading up to our mission. And I know that the miracles will not cease, but in fact they will increase as we begin serving full time in His work. Now I guess I will count up in my numbers since I have counted down the last year.
