Mother! You stinker! :)
I
really can't believe that you got permission for that. I really just
can't at all. But it would be just like you to at least ask, ha ha! And
you know what, maybe somehow getting permission for that may be Heavenly
Father giving you a tender mercy. I just do not know what else it could
have been. But nonetheless!
Yeah, you should go to
the Vancouver 1st Ward! Patrick would be there. I'm sure all these
things can be googled, but it's at 308 W 41st Ave and it starts at 9:00
AM.
I'm
not sure, but the temple might be a call in and schedule deal, and
believe it or not, that Tuesday is going to be the missionary temple
trip day! Our p-day is moved to Tuesday because the temple is closed
Monday. So the temple might be booked that day.
But
what a dilemma. Mother. I love you so infinitely much. I really do. And
so I don't want to in the least hurt your feelings by not sharing a meal
with you after you got permission for one. But at least read this and
see how you feel! (Can you make it another 8 months? You've already done
it for almost 16!)
"Visits from family members, friends, and acquaintances
are against Church policy. The impact of such
visits may extend far beyond the visit itself, both before
and after the visit and among other missionaries. It can
often take some time for missionaries to refocus on
their callings and their work. While expressing your
love and your desire to share your experiences with
them after you have been released, help those who may
want to visit you to understand the importance of
maintaining singleness of heart and mind on the work
of the Lord (see Matthew 10:37–39; Luke 9:61–62)"
That's a quote from the white handbook on page 37.
Much love,
