Inside My Mind Episode 005

In this episode, James speaks of his long two years of waiting to receive his mission call, the hardships of feeling worthy to serve, but not receiving the highly anticipated call as soon as he thought. He speaks of his past and delves into his feelings about the mission paperwork process, including feeling singled out for being honest about his "disability," which he had successfully utilized and managed previously.

Later, he speaks of feeling robbed of blessings related to the Salt Lake and Manti Utah temple plans being announced, then changed, and changed again, affecting not just him, but items of sacred worth to him and many others who worship the Lord in the temple. He addresses his feelings honestly and how the Lord helped him find peace.
