Preparing for a mission is an emotional roller coaster ...whirlwind ...you just name the emotional cliche and that'll sum up the experience. So for those who've never had the pleasure, or have forgotten what it's like, I've broken it down into 7 phases... I'm currently in phase 5 so I had a little help for knowing phases 6 and 7.
PHASE 1 - The Papers
Filling out your papers is so exciting and slightly nerve-racking!
PHASE 2 - The Waiting
Checking the mail EVERY second! Also phase 2 is full of excitement and wonder, you can imagine yourself in any and every mission...
PHASE 3 - The Call
SaaaAaaAhhh Excitaaaaaaaaahd
PHASE 4 - The Waves
Different events bring waves of emotion
PHASE 5 - The Calm
Going on a mission just feels normal. Everyone is making a huge deal out of it, but everything is going well, it's going to be good.
PHASE 6 - The Freak-out
WHHHHYYYYY??? WHY IS I GOING????
PHASE 7 - The End of the Prep
Set apart, excited, sad to leave, peace...
Oh my gosh, this is all SO TRUE!!!! I laughed and laughed and laughed with every phase's perfect illustrations.
