** DAY 32 -- 40 Hour Day??

I can't believe as I see those number slowly get smaller and smaller.  In about one month I will be a missionary.  One month from today, we will be set apart as missionaries.  Amazing.  Then we will start a completely new life.

This mission will be three fold.  We will be 100% of the time with the YSA, according to one of our leaders in the DR.  That doesn't leave much time for other things.  But Salt Lake has said that 20% of our time will be working in the Perpetual Education Fund Program.  And of course, I have this inner desire, or this inner goal to be involved in missionary work, finding those honest in heart who are seeking the truth.  I have already had visions, or dreams how to pursue that part of our mission.  So, let's say that another 20% of our time will be working in seeking and finding, perhaps even teaching those who are seeking the truth.

Now my math isn't all that good, but I do have a calculator, since I do not have that many toes and fingers,  I guess we will have to find 140% of our time and some how turn that into 100% of our time. In other words, we won't have much time to do anything other than that.  If we cut out eating, and only sleep four hours instead of eight...  If we ran instead of walked to places....  If we didn't make our bed in the morning... If we showered only twice a week...  What other ways could we come up with 40% of our time to be available for doing the Lord's work?

That will have to be a miracle that we experience when we get down there.  Forty percent is about ten extra hours.  Any ideas how to realize that dream?  Any ideas how to "create" an extra ten hours?  Maybe if I smashed my watch, and it started going slower, or if I let the battery get tired and weak, then we could find those extra hours.

We are very excited to start having 34 hour days, all of which will be spent in the work of the Lord.  I may even patent it and market it when we get back and make a few million to finance our next few missions.  Glory be, I just figured out how I was going to finance our next missions.  I am sure it would sell rapidly and make us lots of money.  While I am at it, why not make it a forty hour day rather than just a 34 hour day?

(Signs of that brain cloud I talked about yesterday?)
