CAN'T WAIT!

Waiting isn't fun

No, waiting certainly isn't fun.

So the process for how mission calls are made is: Thursdays, prospective missionaries pictures are shown on a screen and, through revelation, mission assignments are made! Fridays, calls are written up and mission packets prepared and ready to be sent. Mondays the calls are sent out! Wednesdays (if you are in Utah...and probably all the US) calls are received!

So my papers were sent in on Wednesday, and there was a chance my call would be assigned the next day, but that didn't happen (I know this because my bishop is able (somehow) to see when my assignment has been made), and so I know I won't be receiving my mission call tomorrow. But that's ok; I will know on Friday if it will be coming next Wednesday! Which it probably will be! Some people have said they can't believe how quick it will come, but others don't know how the anticipation isn't killing me. I just say, I'm grateful I only have to wait 2 or 3 weeks. One friend had to wait 6 weeks, another 2 1/2 months, and back before any of it was electronic, people were waiting 3 or more months! So I'm just counting my blessings that I don't have to wait all that long =]

Announcement!

I'd like to interrupt your regularly scheduled broadcast (of nothing...since I'm a horrible blogger!) to make this special announcement!

I have decided to serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints!

My mission papers were completed tonight, and the member of my stake presidency that I met with said, unless there is a large number of papers being submitted, there is a 70-80% chance that my call will be assigned on Thursday and arrive to me by a week from Wednesday! I can't believe that by next Wednesday, I could know where I will be serving the Lord for 18 months!!!! (and if not next Wednesday, then the following for sure =] )

So! Now that that is out there, please guess where you think I will serve =]

And now, back to your regularly scheduled broadcast =]

Tomorrow!

Tomorrow is a very important day!!

BUT!

You'll have to wait till tomorrow to find out why =]]

Here is a clue:

The picture was required for my special announcement =]

Check back tomorrow!!!!
