Holy Moly I just realized the other day that it has been about 2 months since I have posted anything! I have just been so swamped with school and my mission preparations that I haven't had time to cram anything else into this brain of mine. In just over 3 weeks I enter the MTC and soon after that, the field of the Oregon Portland Mission!!!! I can't even describe my excitement!! Its all coming so fast and with each passing day I have a stronger conformation that this is exactly what I need to be doing in my life right now! I had a friend ask me the other day if I was sad that I wasn't getting married right now instead of going on a mission since I have had quite a few friends getting engaged and married recently.
My answer....of course marriage is high on my priority list; however, I am SO glad that I have this time to serve and learn more about who I am and about my place in Heavenly Fathers plan before I get married. A mission is probably one of the best marriage prep experiences I can think of and in the process I have the opportunity to love and serve others while growing closer to the Lord than I could ever imagine. Wow, how on earth could I pass that up? This is something that is so much bigger than myself and I can't imagine not being able to take part in it. Well its very late, but I just wanted to express my complete and utter joy and happiness! Sleep tight world. ;)
