Here it is... the official footage of the opening of my mission call. Caitlin was on my cell phone (you can't really hear her), my grandma and step-grandpa were on our home phone, and Katie was videotaping. You may notice some slight (or not so slight) disappointment. Don't be alarmed. The contents were just slightly different from what I was expecting.
Lesson: Don't expect anything (good or bad) when opening your mission call. It's all about serving the Lord wherever he deems is necessary, or best, for you.
Also, after some research, thought, and prayer on the matter, I'm glad to say that I feel without a doubt, that this place (I'll let you find out in the video... if you don't already know) is where the Lord wants me to be for the upcoming 18 months. I'm beyond excited. I know there will be hard times, but the hard times are always worth it for better times in the future. I feel like I have SO much to look forward to... not only during my mission, but after as well! Life feels great, and I feel like I'm finally headed in the direction that is meant for me.
Enjoy.

There was so much disappointment in that voice. I'm glad you know that is where you are supposed to be though. I think it will fit you quite well. I'm excited for you. And also JEALOUS. WAY jealous. Like I wish I was in your shoes. Being married is great, but man, sometimes I wish I had gone.
ReplyDeleteYou'll have an awesome time, your not the only one who was shocked when the mission call was opened. I personnally was quite shocked when I was called to the Mesa, Arizona Mission, the last place that I wanted to go. But, like you wrote; the lord has a plan for us all and there will be many people waiting for you, in Texas. Have fun and enjoy your time, it goes by so fast.
