New Assignment

by Cheryl Merrick

Determined not to
give into a doubtful heart,
I begin my Church Service
Missionary assignment.

Cheerfully I open the
first feedback on LDS. org.
Filled with peace and surprise,
I exclaim, “I can answer that!”

As I continue,
I find myself just knowing
where to find information
on the website.


Words come to my mind
from my BYU Ed class,
and my fingers just happen to
push the right buttons.
I find that I’m learning a lot
and even having fun!

Knowing that I’m performing
far beyond my abilities,
I begin to wonder
if someone on the other side of the veil
has begun a new assignment too!
