Today, I went to Ogden to talk to some of my institute teachers. I needed to tell them about my mission. As I was talking to one of them we were talking about my fears I have and the things I am thinking about with this whole mission thing. I mentioned I am 28, I really shouldn't be doing this. Then he asked me about what I could say that will help me with those thoughts. I mentioned it is ok. I can go forever if I would like. Then he said, "That is policy. What else could you say?" And I thought about the initial conversation I had with my old bishop and what he told me. Basically, because I am 28, I have lived on my own and I have done things on my own I will be a huge help to my mission president in helping those girls adjust to life. As I was talking to him about this stuff I started getting excited again. I forget where my focus should be. And I keep wishing I could be in the classroom. Then I have moments like this where I remember where I am going is more important. I have to remember the Lord is going to bless me. He knows what he is doing. I just need to trust that.
One last thing, this same instructor asked me about my poem writing. I haven't thought about writing a poem in a long time. I have done some poems with my class but I haven't just sat down to write my own. I think I may have to dust off that talent and try.
