In about four months my sweetie and I will submit our papers to serve a full-time mission. We’ve been anticipating this moment for about a decade. We’ve saved a lot of cash and, and in the best of all worlds, we’ve allowed for the general maintenance of our home in our absence. Over the next few months, we will address several predictable needs in hopes of lessening a last-minute frenzy. Our passports and our driver’s licenses need to be renewed. We will have complete medical and dental check-ups. We will make Preach My Gospel a part of all our FHEs twixt now and our departure. We will read more scripture than usual and pray a great deal. Succinctly stated, we will seek out every ounce of spiritual enlightenment that we can find and seek the tender mercies of our Father
