The Mission Dream

So last night I had this strange dream where I had just graduated high school the previous day and I was trying to go to mutual opening exercises but all the young women and young men were shoving me so I couldn't get in the door. They kept telling me that they would have me stay and that they loved me but they knew that I needed to move on in life and go to institute and singles ward where I needed to be. They told me that there was still my divine calling and mission to fulfill and accomplish. Finally, I couldn't push against them anymore so I went home and got ready for bed that night. Then I found a letter addressed to me and it was a mission call (even though I was 19 in the dream). It didn't say where I was going to serve a mission but I knew that it was what I needed to do and that if I had stayed at mutual I wouldn't have been able to go on this mission. And earlier in the dream I really didn't want to move on in life and I liked where I was, but after getting the mission call I had this overwhelming sense of peace like I had never really known before. That sense of peace helped me to know that even though I would be leaving things I loved dearly like band and friends at school who weren't seniors, I was doing the right thing and even more good would come of it.
