Missionary Monday - June 14

Soooo, just when I relaxed a bit, thinking that Ben is safely in Provo for several more weeks, we find out this week that he has been made district leader over his district.  The district where everyone has been at the MTC for a month already.  What?!?  He's also keeping up with them in classes, learning the discussions in both English and French at the same time.  Sounds like he's being fast-tracked, doesn't it?  He's loving it.  I'm worrying that he'll head for the south seas sooner than we thought.  My way of dealing with it all?  Praying all the time, just like I always do when I have a son on a mission.  *sighs*  Isn't the third time supposed to be the charm?  I'm feeling a little overwhelmed by all this.  Proud of my son, worried what is going to happen next.

On a much lighter note, Mike and I have noticed an interesting phenomenon.  Last week, our recycling bin was barely half full.  We laughed about the possibility that it was probably due to the lack of Mountain Dew cans.  This week, Mike will be at The Big Event (a Boy Scout camp for older boys).  When I asked about how he usually handles the trash as I would need to do it this week, he said that I really didn't have to bother.  We have less than half a bag to put out anyway.  *hmmmmm*  What was Ben putting in the trash that increased its volume so stupendously?!?  LOL!
