It is amazing to note that my mind is full of things to do to get ready, but it is also starting to entertain many more thoughts of the upcoming mission. Yes, we will be running for two filled weeks, but my mind is dreaming dreams about what is going to happen to us in the coming 18 months. The excitement is building, replacing the concern about insignificant stuff to be done.
I have a major problem. My feet. You see, I need to purchase shoes that are comfortable, and are missionary-ish. I will be wearing shoes daily, most of the time each day. Well you see, I have been blessed with two different feet. I know, most of you have two different feet also, but mine are more different. One is size nine and one half. The other is ten and one half.
Therefore, when I have a pair of shoes on, one feels snug while the other feels like it is going to fall off. If any of you know someone who has the same problem, please let me know. Then we could both purchase shoes and trade the one large one for the smaller.... You get my idea?
I guess I could put tissues in the end of the shoe. Or I could double up, or crush the larger foot to fit the smaller shoe. Or I could just have one slipping off of my foot daily, and make up some kind of funny story why my feet are as they are.
No, I can't wear slippers throughout my mission. Anyone have an idea what I could do? It is truly an obstacle. But miracles happen and perhaps one will drop a half size or the whole size? Ever hear of anyone having his foot change a full size before? Well, that is one that I am challenged with currently.
Bonnie continues to study Spanish and is doing well. She amazes me how much she is learning and how much she studies. She keeps looking at me and saying, "This is like a foreign language..." (for some of you, that is a movie quote, don't know which movie, but our family often plays in movies quotes.) Yes my dear companion, it IS a foreign language.
I hope my language comes back to me like riding a bike. I knew Spanish once, and it sounds so very good to me, I am expecting another miracle to help me be as fluent as I once was.
Two weeks from today we will be at the MTC. It is coming fast.
