I want to give you a little knowledge on how your Nathan has changed.  I hope it's a change you like.  As missionaries, we are taught that setting goals and making plans is a must.  If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.  Things just don't work if you don't have a plan and a backup plan.  We make goals for our mission for each transfer, month, week and day.  After we prayerfully set goals, we prayerfully make plans.  Plans for the year, month, week, day, and even each half hour.  I've learned the value of this, and I've learned my mistake of not doing this before.  I don't want to come home and have my prayerful goals go to waste.  Can you see now why it's important to plan now, and not just wait and see?  You have to plan if you want it to happen.
