Well I did the best thing I could think of and said a prayer. Because I finally understood that Heavenly Father will give you everything you need in the best time. He will place people in your life that will change EVERY single way you think, they will change the image you have of your self. He will give you opportunities to make you the best possible, he will give you opportunities to choose what you want your future to end up as. Heavenly Father will always know what is best for us. Even when the situation seems so SUCKY. However you may learn why it had to happen later and It will only make you better.
I was very sad when I found out my call did not come. I understand that Heavenly Father is the best clock and we just need to trust in Him. Let Him take the wheel when situations are no longer in control. So I did the hardest thing ever. I decided to be PATIENT and wait. I knew Heavenly Father would give me my call when I was ready, and when the people I will be serving are ready for me.
That next Wednesday (March 19th) I was at work and I just had the strange feeling to text the Dance company I am on and tell them I would be late. ok strange... So I did! then I ran to my Parents house to pick up a few things, I had the feeling to just wait for the mail. That would mean I would be at least an hour late to my rehearsal, but I decided to wait. "My call had not been assigned, there was NO WAY it would come today" was all i could think. it just was not a possibility. My mom even promised my Little brother if my call came he could open his birthday present. (a whole week early) As I sat on our living room couch, I just knew it wasn't going to come. But there was that teeny tiny little spark of hope.
When the mail man arrived, my mom watched as he put our mail in the mailbox, I couldn't look. I seriously felt sick. when she said "theres a big white envelope!" I though she was pulling my strings. "its probably an insurance envelope, the mailman would have walked your call to the door, or maybe even look excited. he just looks grumpy." I was so heart broken, I knew it wasn't going to come. As I did the "Charlie Brown" sad walk out to the mail, I opened the box. IT WAS MY FREAKING CALL! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!
So lucky for conner he got to open his birthday present a week early! haha
Heavenly Father knew I needed this. It had been a hard week, I had just said goodbye to one of my closets friends for his mission. Work was a drag, and dance was making my mind explode. I was with my traveling company this upcoming weekend and that always makes me anxious, If I hadn't received my call when I did I may have exploded.
I am so incredibly excited to say I will be serving the people in the Oklahoma, Oklahoma City Spanish Speaking Mission. I report to the Mexico MTC July 23rd. The second I read Oklahoma I really could not think of a more perfect place. Nothing has felt more right then that moment right there reading my mission call.
This Gospel has become something so special to me this year, I feel like I have such a better understanding of the truth, I know it is true! Everyone needs to know the truth! I can not wait to serve, and I can not wait to teach the Spanish speaking people of Oklahoma!
Seriously I have the best call in the world. Heavenly Father, thank you for teaching me patience, I still have a lot to work on, but I finally Understand that you control all timing, you will give me opportunities to grow, and you will place people in my life who will make me so much better.
