Well so it begins! The 27th is finally tomorrow! It feels odd, though the last two months have flown by I feel like tomorrow has taken so long to get here this last week. I have thoroughly enjoyed the time I have gotten to spend with my family and friends, we have had a lot of fun! As my time to leave has grown near I have continuously gotten more and more stoked about serving. Though there are a few things I am nervous about, like not knowing the answer to a question, my excitement and peace from my Savior have not let me focus on them. The one thing that terrified me about the process was the fact I had to give a farewell talk. My stomach was sick whenever I thought about speaking in front of all the people I love as they listen and think about what kind of missionary I'll be. It was nerve wracking and it wasn't until I sat on the stand that I was able to breathe. Credit given entirely to the divine help I received, suddenly I was calm about the entire thing! When I stood to speak I was filled with so much excitement and love for this gospel that I found my self not using the talk I had written out at all. I was winging it and I loved it! I am so excited to be able to do that over and over and over again the next 18 months! With that over I had nothing left to worry about! It was so nice to see my friends and I am so very grateful for their loving support! It means so much to me to know that people believe in me and support me in my decision to serve! I am going to miss so many people here at home and enjoying my time with them but I am so looking forward to the adventures ahead!
The gospel is true! I am so grateful for what it has done in my life and what it will be able to do for the people I will teach!
All is well!
I love you all!
See you in 18 months!!! :)
