It's official...

SOOOOOO a couple weeks ago before I headed to school in Rexhole, I met with my bishop, then my stake president. I got all my medical and dental work, along with all of my interviews done within about two weeks- which was a miracle how everything worked out just right.
I'm going on a mission!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My papers went in officially on April 25th- my availability date is July 25th- two days after school ends. Who knows if I'll actually leave that soon. That would be kinda nice... I don't really want to wait around to leave once I get my call.
So hopefully next week I will be getting my call and finding out where I will be spending the next 1 1/2 years of my life!

I have been thinking about going on a mission since I was like... 19. After a while it became kind of a stressful thing because the sooner the time came that I needed to figure out if going on a mission was what Heavenly Father wanted, I was praying A LOT. I wasn't getting any answers. But as of recently I really put my faith in Him, knowing that He knows best. I decided to go for it, knowing that if it wasn't the right choice, it wouldn't work out. As of so far things have been working out pretty much perfectly. I am SO excited to go serve.

I know that there is nothing better I could be doing with my time at this point in my life than serving God and His children. I know that wherever I am sent, it is where I am supposed to be. I am so excited to help others come to their loving Heavenly Father. I want to teach my brothers and sisters of the truth. I know that it's going to be hard, but I know that Heavenly Father will direct me and always be with me. I know that He loves His children so much, that He will have them hear the truth by whatever means He sees fit. I feel so priviledged to be an instrument in His hands.

Now the wait begins.....
