STOP PROLONGING THE AGONY (Day: Mission)

Well my week started out ok and then went bad on Monday morning. Aside from having woke up in the middle of the night to loads of pain from the current holes in my mouth and having to stay up for an hour watching Spongebob Squarepants and Fresh Prince of Bel Air, at about 5:30 or so in the morning, (Again with the Cartoon thing....but again there was nothing good on and it was early in the morning....and I was in pain so I just didn't care what I was watching) until my Lortab pill that I just recently took kicked in and I could go back to sleep....I woke up at 8:30 or so AM to my phine vibrating. I look at it and it is a Idaho areacode. So I answer my phone and half a sleep say "Hello!?" "Hey Brady! It's President McGary!" This is my stake president from my BYU-I Stake. He calls to tell me that he finally got my medical papers for my mission papers and is turning them in this second. Well I start thinking in a angry shock "What!?" because the way I remembered it....my bishop, Bishop Turner, had that stuff at like the beginning of the month and I signed them off with my Herby Hancock on the first Tuesday of the month. So after asking me stuff like "If I am still worthy to go on a mission" and other things all over again, he says he is going to turn my papers in right then and there....hopefully. "When can I expect my call then!?" I ask "Oh around January 4th!" Bye!" And then I hang up....and then toss my phone in anger across the room and out the door....but not hitting anything or breaking it. "Dad is going to be so happy to hear this when he comes down and wakes me up again!" I think....and fall back asleep. And just like I thought....he was pissed (or maybe the right wording is super mad) about it. I was mad and bummed too because I was all excited about checking the mail everyday this week to get my call and do a party and everything. Heck we were talking about it the night before at the weekly family dinner we have about what we were going to do. I told everyone to make 2 guesses one in the U.S. and one out....like me and my friends did in Idaho, but nobody wanted to do it. So instead Dad made it more interesting and put money down to anyone that guessed the right country I would go to and even I could get it. We were all thinking we could have the party either Wednesday (Today techinqually) or Thursday (Tomorrow techniqually) becuase that is probably when it would come in. Before I went to sleep I called my Bishop back up in Idaho about it and he was like "Yeah....I gave them to the Stake Secrectary the day after you signed them!" "So when is he getting them now!?" I asked "Between then and now...I don't know what happened or why it took so long." he said. We figure it all sat on his desk probably and they forgot. So now I gotta wait even longer for my call, unless by some miracle it is out in my mailbox right now as I am typing, and then it sucks more for my parents because they were gonna wait to see where I go and then based on that get my christmas presents and now they can't and my dad said he felt bad and what he could get me based on what he was getting all my other siblings since, I guess, he is putting a big cash limit on each of us all he could get is the typical missionary stuff of like luggage and all that stuff and nothing really exciting. I told him I didn't care just because it is just like a crappy moment and timing but whatever....and I also through out the idea of just getting me a Nintendo DS and other stuff like that and I'd be happy....we'll see what happens. So anyways....if anyone reading this that knows me wants to put little bets as to where I will go on my mission....post them here and if you are siblings or wifes or husbands or children of siblings and wanna put bets on...you can too and then call Dad about how much money is on the table if you win! Anyways wish my luck on my call and just life. Chirstmas is around the corner....Merry Christmas, Happy Hannauka...or however you spell it, Happy Holidays, Happy Kuanza or whatever holiday that is....a long with all the other celebrations going on around this time. And to anyone that doesn't celebrate any holdidays around this time....have fun with whatever you do.
