When one prepares to serve an LDS mission, they expect to have a doctor's appointment or two, a few vaccinations, and * shudder * a trip to the dentist's office. There are interviews with the bishop, the stake president, and miles of paperwork to fill out and file. They never warn you about the wolverines.
Wolverines, you ask. What do wolverines have to do with your mission? Wolverines are nasty little critters that jump out at you and remind you of your worst fears and laments... like leaving your favorite people in the world or learning a new language, or not being ready for the black nametag... they snarl and snap, and if you show an instant of weakness they will rip your resolve right out of your trembling fingertips and eat it for lunch. (or breakfast as the case may be)
How do you defeat these wolverines? Good question. I am severely tempted to let the wolverines into the all out fight for my time, along with the twin tigers of physics, the bear of biology, and the tyrannosaur that embodies Organic Chemistry. That would be a battle of Epic proportions, although admittedly my money's on the wolverine for the win.
Am I terrified? Absolutely. But that's not going to stop me from building a steel cage and watching it from the middle of the fight.
