The happy bookends are getting to talk with my Sweetheart for more than a few hurried minutes both morning and evening. Of course, being together in person is our happy goal, but for right now, the days when we can talk twice are about as good as it gets.
Today was my four month interview with one of the Mission Presidency and his wife. It was nice to converse with them, and report on what I am doing in my zone. I am grateful that I did not go in with a bad attitude like I might have last week until I got my head on straight about some changes in training at the Library. From the response I got when I just mentioned it, I think the mission leaders are already aware. I got to talk just a bit about my Sweetheart, and confirm that there was no point in asking me to extend my time here--the year is way long enough to put my life on hold! Maybe someday we will come out to serve together, but probably not soon, as there is plenty of work for the kingdom that needs to be done back in Missouri.
I had worn one of my pink blouses to the interview, having forgotten that since the Elijah Choir was singing today for Mission Conference, I needed to wear a white blouse! Fortunately, one of the other choir members noticed and reminded me, so I went back to the apartment to change. It is a good thing that I have a lot of white tops, as the two I usually use were both in the wash. I will need to wear that one again tomorrow, as Mission Conference is for two days each month. As a choir member I get to attend both sessions. This month we have two different speakers, but our music is the same, a beautiful rendition of "More Holiness Give Me". Our director gave us a new way of singing this and it worked very well.
Back at the Library I worked first as a Rover, and then got to finish up my time by translating a couple of German documents. That really was enjoyable.
