The Waiting Game....

The waiting game is never fun.

Whether it is waiting for results, surgery, answers, doctors, in the check out line, or for a letter or email from your missionary, it can feel like a loooooooong time.

Jordan packed paper, pens, envelopes and stamps.  What more does he need?

Time.

I am sure he is keeping very busy, learning a new schedule, a new language, and meeting new friends.

Me?

I am trying to keep busy. My new calling in the Relief Society, teaching bread baking classes, and a six month old puppy should be enough to keep me busy, right?

I know Jordan is in a good place, with great people, and doing what he should be doing.  But it doesn't stop the questions that run through my mind all day...

Is he doing okay?

Does he have a nice companion?

Is he sleeping?

How is the food?

Is the language hard?

I don't think Jordan is homesick.  He lived off campus for a semester away at school, yet he came home almost every weekend.  I am sure that he is too busy to even think about home.

Meanwhile, Jordan wanted us to keep track of the days using this Called to Serve Chart, purchased from Deseret Book. It has stickers for MTC day 1, days, 6mo/1yr/18mo marks, Transfers, calls home and Baptisms.

As you can see, it has only been 6 days since Jordan entered the MTC.  I feel like a little kid, putting up the dots and looking forward to the wonderful reward: Jordan coming home!
