Sitting, Waiting, Wishing

So, no call yet. My bishop has been tracking my papers and they are apparently still at the Mission Offices, which means that no call has even been decided yet. It's getting harder and harder to wait when everyone keeps asking if my call is here. I have been told not to get my hopes up because the delay in my papers could cause my call not to come for 3-4 weeks. I'm trying not to be too upset about this. I keep telling myself that in my original plans, when I thought you could only turn your papers in 90 days before your availability date, I would have just been able to turn my papers in. That means that I'm still ahead of when I thought I would get my call. Still, it's hard to wait. I'm trying to decide if I want people to play the guessing game of where I'll go. I feel that besides telling the ward about my plans, my family isn't really doing anything. I watched as my friends' families bought maps and called around to get everyone's guesses. I saw them get all excited with the missionary-to-be. To my knowledge, my parents don't even read this blog. I don't know, I'm sure that they really are excited for me and that when I actually get my call they'll show more excitement and support. For now, it just feels like nothing has changed. As if I haven't made a life-altering decision.
Anyway, enough of the gloom! I would like to wish Elder Bush a Happy Year Mark! He has had a fabulous year and I'm sure the next will be just as great! Woo hoo Elder Bush!
