Actually
Gee…LJ seems to be running really slow tonight.
*sigh* Ben realized how much he had to do before leaving for SLC on Monday, and thus decided he would not be able to go to the Washington D.C. Temple tomorrow. Since I don’t feel comfortable making the trip alone, I’ve decided to cancel those plans. I don’t know how reliable my car would be on a four hour trip. Ben’s a mechanic so at least he’d have some clue if something went wrong. I was also just looking foward to dicussing the Temple with him as he has some pretty good insights.
I have 20 days before I report to the Missionary Training Center (MTC). Sometimes I think I’m on track in getting everything taken care of…and then other times I feel so behind. I orded every book in my approved mission library tonight. Hopefully I’ll have what I can take to the MTC before I leave. The others I’m having sent to my mission. I wish I would have ordered them a long time ago, as it would have been good to have already aquainted myself with them. Oh well, live, learn, make mistakes, learn some more, keep making mistakes, learn some more, die, and learn more than you every imagined. I believe that is how we progress.
Sunday evening is my and Ben’s combined “open house” at the church. Should be pretty spiffy. Anyone in the general area of Hampton Roads is invited. I heard the food will be really good. It’s from 6pm to 8pm. Reply for directions.
I suppose that’s about it for tonight. I tried to order my bike online and found I needed to fax it. I guess I’ll do that from work tomorrow.
Take care out there and God Bless!

is Ben your partner for the mission? I forgot that you guys go in pairs.
No, Ben will be serving in the California Sacramento South Mission. I will be serving in the Colorado Colorado Springs Mission.
Missionaries actually serve with a number of companions in a number of areas. I won’t have my first companion until I arrive at the Missionary Training Center in Provo, UT,
