It occurs to me that what do we do to in the meantime "to live in the world and not of it?" I understand now more than ever that it is to put aside the worldly entertainment, the talk shows on the radio, the political programs, etc. I have willingly made the choices to listen minimally to Rush Limbaugh. It is a big thing, but know that is what is right.
We listen to Conference talks instead of the radio and find more satisfaction in our days and know the words of the brethren are like listening to scripture. We love the messages and edify us at the same time.
It has helped us in our spiritual preparations. Our routine daily scripture study is an important part of our day. Our morning and evening couples prayers also add to our preparedness. We have developed that at least and have room to improve as we have instructions to read and study, "Preach My Gospel" and the MTC. We will spend a week of missionary training when we enter there.
We are willing to further the work in building the kingdom here in the vineyard around us. There will be many missionary moments to bear our testimonies and help strengthen the members where we serve. Our mission president, President Leonard Greer is anxiously waiting for us to be ready to serve.
Our president has already asked us to participate with the missionary transfers and changes in mid-September. We are also get to meet some of the other senior couples and attend the temple with them just before we head down to Utah. We will be set apart by then by our stake president, so when we go down to the MTC, we will be just like the younger missionaries. Official missionaries!
We don't know yet is we are speaking in Church yet. We should find out by Sunday what the bishop tells us about that. We will keep you posted.
