I drove to the airport today to pick up a student for the school. She came from Dominican Republic. On the way, I listened to the Tabernacle Choir. I felt the spirit of those songs and felt very strong stirrings within. I knew that when we finally do get to go on our mission, that feeling of companionship with the Holy Ghost, or the Spirit of Divinity will be constant, or at least felt stronger as we serve with our all.
My boss asked if we had received our call yet. I said no. He said he was going to call the brethren and tell them to lose the papers so I would not leave. Then he laughed. He said that I would be missed as much as withdrawing my hand from a bucket of water, the amount of water displaced would be how much I would be missed. At times he wants to run me out, at other times, he would rather I stay around. Then there are times when I wish I could walk away today from work, for many different reasons.
One of the teachers asked if I heard about our call yet. I said no. She said, "Wonderful." She is the one that made me promise that I would make some Ginger Cookies before I leave. She says that I make the best ginger cookies in the world. Of course I do.
My sister said it should be today, Friday. She said that she heard from some friends that it comes on Friday. Well, I guess I really don't care when it comes. I am occupied in the two lives I live, one at work, one at home. I will continue as long as I need to. It is accomplishing a goal we set a long time ago. So, I really do not think about when it will come and what it will contain, and what it will mean about changes in our life.
I read this morning in the BOM that God is a God of miracles. If we do not see miracles, then it is because of the lack of our worthiness. Miracles are all around, we just don't see them, expect them, nor ask for them. But Bonnie and I have seen, experienced, and expect miracles every day. They continue to occur in our lives.
Day 6. We continue to wait.
