We found out that ROTC really wants Mario for Puerto Rico. It's requires a Spanish speaking Lt. Colonel. Apparently there aren't any that are available to take the job. So they are trying to get a waiver for Mario to leave Omaha a year early.
We were so excited about the job last weekend, but then we were told no and I came up with a million reasons why it was better we don't go. But now that it may still be an option, Mario and I had a lot of fasting and praying to do to see if we even wanted to ask for the waiver.
We made this pros and cons list this morning. Then we went to the Temple to seek guidance. I had just sat down in my seat when I was overcome by the Spirit. I felt such love from Heavenly Father and His reassurance He was pleased with us. I felt that His answer was "Yes, you can apply for the job." I'm not sure I felt a conformation that we would get it. But that was ok. I know that whatever happens will be for our good.
If we do go to Puerto Rico, we will miss having a Temple so close. What a blessing it has been to live within 30 minutes of a Temple. We have become quite spoiled.
