How has Heavenly Father blessed you with having righteous desires?
How has Heavenly Father blessed your immediate family and extended relatives with having righteous desires?
How has Heavenly Father blessed your friends with having righteous desires?
This post is part one. Sometime after I landed back to Brisbane from living in Perth for short-term in mid 2015; I fasted and prayed about if Heavenly Father would like me to go and serve a full-time mission. I felt a great impression enough for me to gain a strong desire to serve a full-time mission. I was so excited.
I remembered talking to the bishop at the time and he has given me privileged access to fill the full-time mission papers online and I still remembered when I was filling out the mission papers online. I remembered having my Dad by my side to help me with answering some questions, I remembered when I saw my GP doctor for medical examination of my mission papers and it costed FREE.
I remembered getting my dental work done, I had 4 fillings to be done, and x-rays. Unfortunately, I had to pay 40% from the total cost and thanks to my dental insurance at the time paid the remaining 60% of the the total cost. Total ended up costing about less than $100 US dollars. I was able to see my bishop again to give him the medical examination printed copy and the dental work has been completed printed copy as well.
I had to see him for an interview of my worthiness to serve a full-time mission; he was able to submit approval at his end and referring me to see stake president at the time (who's still stake president today). I was looking forward to the next stage of the full-time mission papers.
I had to see stake president for an interview of my worthiness to serve a full-time mission about a few weeks or so after seeing my bishop. The stake president has requested for me to come in again for another interview, I came in for another interview, then he delayed about submitting my mission papers because he knew that there would be stake boundaries changes was coming up.
Eventually, he mentioned about my mission papers has been submitted to Salt Lake City Church Headquarters. I was so excited. During the process of waiting for the mission call of the full-time mission to arrive; I have given updates of where the mission papers was, and he thinks that I might be called to serve in New Zealand. The stake president even followed up with me if I still had a desire to serve a full-time mission. Of course, I knew that I still had a strong desire to serve a full-time mission. I had nothing to stop me from serving a full-time mission.
After such a long wait, I followed up with the stake president and he mentioned about my full-time mission call was on its way back to Australia and I still didn't get the mission call. I decided to get a priesthood blessing and it mentioned that I would be able to find employment before end of the year. I asked the stake president if I can receive my endowments prior to my sister Emma's sealing and he has mentioned, "no." Emma and I did temple preparations classes together. I was disappointed that I can't receive my endowments prior to Emma's sealing, and he wouldn't allow me to become a Temple Ordinance Worker.
I remembered when I kept applying for jobs, even jobs that was about thirty-five minutes ish drive one way from my family's home at the time. I eventually found successful into employment. I moved away from my family's home. I don't even remember too much about meeting and greeting with the new stake president that I moved into a new stake. I know that he's such a great stake president.
I have spoken to a self-reliance missionary couple about my strong desire to serve a full-time mission, and he mentioned about that I get called to serve. I got called to serve as a Self-Reliance Missionary in Brisbane Australia Mission. I wasn't upset, I just thought it was strange. I remembered to pray to Heavenly Father to express to him that it was okay for me not going on a full-time mission and a part-time mision, it would be good to meet a temple worthy priesthood holder to seal me in the Temple one day.
By the time when I followed up about my mission call, the couple mentioned to me that the mission isn't going ahead. I went ahead with seeing my new bishop and stake president at the time for an interview of my worthiness to receive my endowments. Somehow towards end of that year, I was blessed to meet my husband on LDS Singles and then somehow found him on Facebook. I remembered first time messaging my husband on Facebook messenger and I wasn't so sure if he was ever going to reply.
