As I write this on Sunday Morning, I hate to go to church where so many will ask, " Did you get it?" And of course we will say once more, "not yet." They will ask, "When will you get it?" Then we will smile and shrug our shoulders.
We continue to dream of the days when we will be full time missionaries concerned about the work every minute of every day. We will continue to try to imagine where we are going. There are 340 missions in the church, and we will be pleased and excited to serve anywhere He calls.
Bonnie heard about one of her cousins who is serving in the Panama Mission. She heard today that they were relaxing in their time off and watching the Panama Canal operate with another senior couple. Tears came to her eyes as she imagined that we would have similar experiences one day, soon.
We will strive to feel that Spirit as we go through our meetings, commune with our Savior and Father through our meetings at church today. We will reconfirm our desire to be missionaries, recommit our lives to Him and offer our services, time, talents, and testimonies.
Yesterday, we saw one more miracle happen. We finally paid off the last debt that we have been working on since the bowling alley. Since we left over three years ago, phantom debts kept cropping up that we were responsible for. Finally, today we paid the last one, I believe. What a joy to know that we are, or soon will be totally out of debt, probably within the next week or so. (We paid the big one yesterday.) What a comfort and peace that will be. Bonnie is going to shout for joy and excitement when that happens. Within the next ten days it will happen. Thanks Father, for that is a miracle also.
Bonnie's brother who is waiting for their departure date on their mission keeps asking why we have not received our call. Just one more person asking why. I wish we could say, but we cannot. Ours is not to question why or when, ours is just to wait or die. No, you know what I mean, ours is to wait, and wait some more.
Just like last Sunday, I hope sometime this week I can blog about receiving direction from the brethren about where and when. Guess we will just wait and see.
