10-15-14 This is the day I found out that I have very serious allergies. I was driving in Provo Utah when all of the sudden I see this building and it turns out I am 100% allergic to it. I know this because, once I could see it clearly my eyes starting watering completely out of control and my nose starting running down my face.... That's how I found out I have allergies.
Really, It was the Provo MTC I was dropping off one of the greatest gifts I have ever had in my life. Skycap style on the curb. Two minutes they said. Please Hurry they said....
As stood there on the sidewalk my life with her flashed before my eyes I wondered if had done enough and what had I forgotten to tell or teach her. Wow it was overwhelming to say the least.
I was smiling on the outside out of pure pride and happy to see her chasing her goals. But on the inside my heart was crying out and screaming in pain just like a small child with his hand slammed in a car door that has locked and no one is around....
If you have not done it yet, I wish you the best of luck when you do. If you have been there done that you have my highest respect.
I believe the MTC and whole concept of the mission is so that church members can get a very small taste of what it means to sacrifice. Both the missionary and family.
I do know and understand that if it were not for Missionaries no one would be members. I was found and led by the hand by some very brave ones myself.
Today she has been serving for one week. She is doing great and her mom and I are doing better. I keep thinking back to the line in movie "Meet the Mormons" they are only ours on loan for brief time. Then we have to give them back....
Brea,
I love you and I am so very proud of you. Go get em Girl! They need your help.
