Missionary Experience

I have put in my missionary application to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Bishop Nelson first spoke to me about it February 27, 2011 and it has been a really long process with physicals from Dr. Oneal and Dr. Shenoy, dental work with Dr. Poon, and lots of various test and test and more test. Finally that was all completed. After I was able to turn it in to Bishop Nelson, he held it for several weeks before sending to Stake President Harrison. He held it for many weeks, calling the mission home in regard to my health history, interviewing me, etc. I really felt he might not send it in and that was several tough weeks for me. He finally forward the paperwork (online and hard copies) to Salt Lake on June 3rd. On the 18th of June I received online a questionnaire to fill in. When I hit the submit button, it said the questionnaire and all paperwork would then go to the First Presidency and I should hear from them in 4 - 6 weeks. That was two weeks ago yesterday and I am honestly trying to be patient..... I am so excited for this opportunity and I cannot wait to see where I will be serving. Stay tuned and I will let you know as soon as I know.
