Heavenly Father is leading me

Hey readers, I thought I would make an update about my mission papers and so on.

I have started the paper work, I'm so excited about that and hopefully it won't be much longer til I will actually have my call and know where I will go for the next two years.

The first and second counselors in my YSA Branch got released a couple weeks ago and then last week (not the 28th) President Haws called me on Saturday  and we met on Sunday to talk (He is one of the new counselors) We were talking about stuttering.. because I stutter and he used to stutter, worse then me actually and now he doesn't anymore. President Haws learned this thing to help people who stutter to stop stuttering and he'll be helping me with it.

Then when I was about to go home after church President Jensen (The Branch President) he called me and we were talking, he told me that he talked to President Call (The Stake President) and that he knows of a Doctor that'd be able to help me come up with a program for what to eat and what kind of exercise is best for me. This is amazing because I have been jogging but I probably can't go jogging anymore (or at least as much as I been doing) because I have really flat feet and they were causing a problems.

With that all happening on the same day, about a week after I started my mission papers is amazing. I know that Heavenly Father is leading me, he knows when the right time is for me to be on my mission, in my patriarchal blessing it says I'll be able to go on a fulltime mission at the appropriate time.
And all of this has happened since I started my papers.

Endure to the end stay strong in the Gospel and you won't regret it

Good news

I have some good news..

My branch president has signed me up for getting my mission papers ready, I'm excited for this as you can imagine, although I won't be sending them in for a little after I have finish them.

The reason is I still have weight to lose, but being able to start the papers is one big step. My plans of getting my call before the 3rd week of August will not work now, because some things has came up which I had no control over.. as in I needed to get some arch support for my shoes, because my feet are very flat and they were starting to hurt by jogging the 4.31 miles as you can imagine hah.

Another one is I could have a thyroid problem so no matter  how long or hard I work out, I will not lose weight, not until I see a Doctor and run some test.. I was taking some meds a couple of years ago because of thyroid but then the Dr wanted to test me without taking them and he never did, so I never took them since.

I hope it's not a thyroid problem because if it is then I need to wait until I'll be able to go see a Dr, so more waiting.

But being able to start my papers and do as much for them as possible will be great, and then I'll be able to send them in right when I get to the weight range where I would like to be 260-250 (Then I'll still have time to lose more weight while I'm waiting to leave, which can take  2+ months)

I know that everything will go well, that Heavenly Father is guiding  me, he knows when the perfect time for me to leave for my mission is.
Alma 36:3 "And now, O my son Helaman, behold thou art in thy youth, and therefore,  I beseech of thee that thou wilt hear my words and learn of me; for I do know that whosoever shall put their trust in God shall be supported in their trials, and their troubles, and their afflictions, and shall lifted up at the last day"

I watched this video on Mormon Message about trusting in the Lord, and although her story is not like mine, it is still the same thing.. to trust in the Lord

Endure to the end stay strong in the Gospel and you won't regret  it
