We continue to learn more and more. So exciting it is. Bonnie's brother's farewell on Sunday was a joy, got the excitement to higher heights. Fun.
It is interesting while we are in Dominican Republic, we will be working for one brother in the Seminaries and Institutes while working "under" the mission president. I guess it would be sort of like our bishop and our employer. We shall find out more about that when we get there.
Ten more days until I can leave work and never go back. Fun, I am taking the time to carefully train those new employees at work how to take over for me. Ten days to do that.
As I was discussing missions with David, Bonnie's brother, he said, "Watch out for Satan, for he is active right before you go." I have thought about that. He is at least partially aware of what Bonnie and I shall do in the Dominican Republic, and he is aware of our testimonies of the gospel. I would assume he would want to prevent any good we might do down there, and thus he and his followers are active. I guess Satan's actions are in exact opposite corners than all those miracles we keep seeing.
Forty nine days. I am a forty niner, I was born in forty nine, I love the forty niners, I am a few years beyond forty nine years old, and today we have forty nine days until we leave.
I have found that the more one looks for Father's influence in one's life, the more you find it. The more you expect it to be there the more He is there. We will soon be missionaries, full time missionaries, and we will see His hand surrounding us in every action, since we "are His Hands" while we serve. He will direct us and show us the way, the things to say, etc. But even now, as we prepare, He is in every event, almost every thought, and He is with us. Oh that we could live our lives with His influence in every decision. That is the goal, that is what will bind Satan for 1000 years.
