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
