it's the season of mission calls. my best friends will be opening their calls this week and it's a total surreal thought. i am more excited for that moment than i think they are.
i was sitting in mission prep this evening, and all i can say is 'WOW'. honestly, these young men are the best there is. it is such a privilege to even know them. when they speak, they speak with such assurance and knowledge. where ever they go, the people they teach will be so lucky.
i also watched the Titans YouTube video on mission call openings. it was so good it moved me to tears. it just goes to show how truly called of god this work is. to see young men get so excited about serving the Lord is one of the most precious moments. and when you see sisters opening their calls, you just know that they love the Gospel and they are ready to teach it to everyone (and everyone will listen because i'm convinced there isn't a single unattractive sister missionary out there. they are all adorable!).
and there was also the weekly Skype session I have with Tay. he gets his call on tuesday or wednesday. when i said i'm more excited for them than they are, he is who i was mostly referring to. he is going to make one incredible missionary! how amazing it is that someone so young could be so excited about something the majority of the world would loath even the thought of. it's a miracle if you really think about it.
i am so grateful to be surrounded by these kinds of young men everywhere i go. they are the elite. and i can't wait until the day i get to marry one of them. they will make amazing fathers and husbands. their missions will only make them that much more amazing. wow. i look up to them more than they could ever know. i can't wait to see where the Lord sends them!
