I'll cut to the quick--we checked the mail after we sent Emails, and I have been reassigned to serve in the Colorado, Fort Collins Mission for an undetermined period, until my Visa to serve in Bulgaria arrives. I leave the same day, same time, but I just don't have to worry about weight restrictions! My other district members are going to DC South.
I am excited to get this opportunity to learn to be a missionary in English first before I preach in Bulgarian--the Lord must know some skill that I need to hone that I don't. I am so glad we have a loving Heavenly Father who knows more than we do, who knows the person or family or missionary that needs his influence through me, whereas I don't. I am not sad, I am excited. I am pumped to preach the Gospel. I feel his Spirit testifying to me, as I type this, that this is where I need to go, that this is the right step for me. It could be a week, it could be two years, but whatever it is, I plan on making the most of it!
Don't think I'm sad, because I am not. My trust is in the Lord and his plan, not mine. How lucky are we to be members of his Church, to know what we know! What might crush others makes my heart soar! I know that this church is true family, I know it is true.
Dad, I would ask you to send me some Cowboy boots, but I'm sure I'll be able to find a good pair there. I don't know the mission president, I don't even know the mission boundaries, but I know it is where I need to go.
Много ви обичам, аз се доверявам във Бога, вечния Отец!
