I'm a missionary!!!!!!!!

I'll make this quick because it's almost midnight and I have last minute mission things to finish up before I enter the MTC tomorrow! I was set apart tonight as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!!!!! It was incredible!!! I can't wait for the MTC even though I am a wee bit nervous, but I am more excited than anything! I LOVE the gospel and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the whole world!! It's true and I challenge everyone to find that out for themselves! I love you all and hope all is well for everyone in all that you do!! See ya'll in 18 months!

If ye have desires to serve!

      This is it! MTC in about a week now! I can't believe it's finally happening. I am preparing to do something I've dreamt about since I was a little girl. I can't wait to share the love and excitement that is in my heart. I gave my farewell talk in my moms ward this last Sunday, and I will give it in my singles ward this next week. I love this gospel and I don't even want to imagine what would be going on in my life without it. That is why I have the urge to share this gospel message, that is why I must serve and show my gratitude for this life I have been blessed to experience and grow in. I see myself as one who holds a sacred privilege to learn and grow as a missionary of the Lord. What a humbling yet absolutely thrilling blessing.  I know without a doubt that this mission will be one in which I will learn more about sacrifice, love, work, service, and trials than I could ever imagine; I know without a doubt that it will mold and prepare me for the other great parts of my life that are yet to come. My heart is so full and I only hope that the Lord will help me to become the best missionary that I can be!
