Called to Serve

Well, this is it. I am officially a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints! It still seems like I have to wait forever until I leave, but in reality I am leaving my house in one hour for the last time. How crazy!! I am so excited to see what life holds for me in the next 18 months. :D Who would have guessed that I would be doing this! I always thought I would get married or going to school. I can't wait to see how much I will learn and change. One thing I am looking forward to the most is the changes and experiences I will have!

However, I know what I will miss things. Haha. Obviously! The thing I will miss the most is my family. It sounds crazy but I have never gone more than one day without talking to a member of my family! The longest I've lived away (away meaning more than 3 hours) from my home was two weeks! I love each and everyone of my family members so much!!! The next thing I will miss is volleyball!! I will play as often as I can but it won't be near as much as I play now. :)

I just thought it would be appropriate for me to end my last personal entry with my testimony. I know that Jesus Christ lives! I know that He loves me with more love than anyone can comprehend. He loves everyone!! I know that His full gospel is here today because the prophet Joseph Smith restored the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. With help from God, Prophet Joseph translated the Book of Mormon. This amazing book is true!! It testifies of Heavenly Father and His Son along with the Bible! I love this Church. I have never been more sure of what I know! I can't wait to find more conviction for my knowledge! I know that President Thomas S. Monson is the living prophet of God today! I love you all!!! In the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, Amen!
