Some of the dreams/feelings I've had:
At Ronnie Passey's [missionary] farewell in November, I had a feeling, a strong feeling that what Ronnie was doing, serving a mission, was what I needed to do and I knew from then on that I will serve a mission some day! The next story was while I was in the hospital for the infection, (January 2013) when everyone was there, Hayden told me about a dream he had a few nights before. He saw me wearing a missionary name tag. He doesn't know where I was, but he said, "Erik, you get to serve!" :) Neat, huh?
The last story is a dream I had last week. In my dream, I was opening my mission call, and was trying really hard to not read and peek ahead, but I did see the word "Buenos" and was confused at first, but read it. In my dream, I was called to the "Buenos Arias Argentina West" mission. I don't know if that was a glimpse into my future, but it did give me comfort. Guess we'll see, sometime.??? I looked up the mission name the next day and that mission does really exist. I remember that Harmony Anderson got called to Argentina, and looked on Facebook, and she is going to Buenos Arias West. So maybe it was just a dream from that, or maybe it was a "vision" of my future. Guess I'll just have to trust in the Lord and see what happens?
But no matter what, God is good. He really is. And he really is watching out for me. I know that the reason I have trials is because I can grow from them, And I honestly am grateful I've been through what I've been through, because of my growth. I'm still growing. I'm excited to see what the Lord has planned for me. And honestly, I'm looking forward to returning to Him again. I LOVE the gospel!!!
