forms, forms, forms

As we continue the application process with the mission board that we are considering, we are coming into contact with forms, forms, and more forms. I was warned by others who are already with different boards that this would be the case, but for some reason, I didn't really believe them. I thought, "yeah, yeah, it will probably be like an application and a query or two." Ha ha ha! Oh how I show my lack of knowledge and wisdom. There are many, many forms to fill out. I think that one point of all the forms must be to see if you are really interested or not. It's a real life personality test that determines persistent you are, getting rid of the faint of heart early on.
