Well something kind of big happened in my life. And I am just now blogging about it.. 3 weeks after the fact. Anyways- I have decided to serve as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (although I think I already have said that on here). I received my call to the Philippines Legaspi mission. I report to the MTC on June 5th (soon I know) and am going to be preaching in Tagalog. I am scared to be leaving so soon and feel like there is a lot to do to prepare but I know that it will all work out. I know this is where I am meant to go. Yes I am scared for the culture change but I know that my Heavenly Father will help me if I ask for it. I am hoping that while I am gone that I'll have my mom post my weekly email onto here but I'm not sure if that is too technical for her... We'll see what happens. I have a lot to do to prepare and I think that is hindering my excitement but don't worry readers- I am excited. I am excited to learn and teach and do everything that is asked of me. I don't know why but this blog really failed this past year at college. OH MY- I am done with Freshmen year!! And it went pretty well. I loved all the friends I made and I met an amazing guy. And school turned out pretty well surprisingly. I wasn't sure if it was going to be for a while... but I got a handle on it. I am currently deferred from BYU until winter 2015. Don't you worry- I am going back. I love Brigham Young and it truly is my dream school. I am so grateful I got in. I've changed a lot this past year at school and I am so pleased that I did. I am much happier with myself and have a clearer focus for my future. Of course things may change and that's OK. But for now- I am happy. I am excited to leave my life behind for 18 months and serve my God. After everything I have been blessed with 18 months is nothing to give up. I am sorry again that I didn't blog about this sooner- although everyone who reads my blog probably already knows about all this. Oh and for anyone who has questions about what is a missionary I urge you to go to mormon.org and fine out. Hopefully I will blog a few more times within the next month about my progress with preparing.. hopefully.
