My follow-up idea for this post:
"in the trenches
adverb phrase
In the workplace; in contact with the people or problems in a situation; unprotected by distance or illusion" — dictionary.com
Recalling “a work in progress” five years ago, I decided to finally finish it. My companion, Sister Kay Cannon, and I were serving “in the trenches” for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with the wonderful people of Metro Detroit, Michigan.
After twelve months on a 23-month, 2017 assignment, we were transferred to Farr West. Seven weeks later, we were in nearby Ogden when Kay received a mission transfer for a heavenly assignment, leaving me “in earthly trenches”. Nevertheless, we continued working together as eternal companions ... forever in love.
It is a work in progress ... for our sisters and brothers ... coming to Christ, the Savior of mankind.
