Unexpected

Every now and then, the unexpected happens.  Every now and then, something we really desire happens.  Every now and then, those are the same things.

Shortly after returning home from my mission, I applied to teach at the Missionary Training Center.  It was a job I never expected to get; it was a dream I never thought to attain. Yet as my bracelet states, "dreams become reality, one choice at a time."  I chose, I turned in an application, and I start work on Monday. 

This gives me the opportunity to help others as they start on their big adventures. I'll be helping missionaries prepare to dedicate a portion of their lives to the Lord's work. I'm so excited.

Doctrine and Covenants 18:10,15-16
Remember the worth is great in the sight of God... 
And if it so be that you should labor all your days in crying repentance unto this people, and bring, save it be, one soul unto me, how great shall be your joy with him in the kingdom of my Father! 
And now, if your joy will be great with one soul that you have brought unto me into the kingdom of my Father, how great will be you joy if you should bring many souls unto me!
