I'm a 24 years old male recent convert and I want to serve a mission. However, after many prayers I haven't received a confirmation that I should serve. When I went to talk with my YSA ward bishop about missionary service, he told me that he felt I should focus on career, dating, temple marriage and eventually a family. Honestly I was quite surprised about my bishop's counsel, it wasn't what I was expecting. Should I follow my bishop's guidance? I understand that he is called by God and speaks with authority, but at the same time President Monson said all worthy and capable young men are called to serve.
Thank you!
