Mission Update: June 5th, 2006
Welcome to the second to the last installment of “Mission Update” by Elder Joel McDonald…
Time is running short…very short. It’s sometimes difficult to believe that I will be going home next week. I’m looking forward to it.
Not too much to report. Had a wonderful dinner at the Westons on Friday. Got in a bit of trouble though for leaving our area without permission. Permission has always been a moot point though. Of course, getting in late didn’t help the situation either.
My service mission era is coming to an end. Thursday is Transfers, and things are changing (so we’ve been told by President). I tell you what…I can’t wait to have some bit of control over my life again. It’s been wonderful to work at both the Employment Resource Center and the Air Services Museum. A breath of reality I suppose you could say. I’ve enjoyed it. Not sure what President will have me doing the last six days of my mission. I’ll probably be bounced around a bit. This whole 30 days early things just doesn’t work too well…a transfer is longer than thirty days, so those going home a little early are sorta stuck in temporary limbo. It’s only six days though…I can handle it.
Thank you to all those who have been praying for my Grandmother. She is doing a little better now, at least she is comfortable and stabilized. She’s actually now in Virginia, and I hope to visit her soon after I get home.
I suppose that’s about it for now. One more of these updates to go and you’ll never hear from me again!!! Well…actually you will…but probably not in weekly e-mail form. I’ll discuss that a bit later.
Take Care!
