Minutes

That's all I have. By 7:30 I will be set apart as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I cannot express to you all the things that are going through my mind, because I am not quite sure what they are. I have a mix of emotions that are pounding through me every second. Mostly, I feel excitement. I feel like a surreal blur of adventure is getting closer and closer into my view. I will no longer wonder what my mission will be like; I am going to live it. I have this anxiety that I am not well enough prepared, that I don't know enough, that I am not strong enough to be a successful missionary. I do know however, that I love my Savior. He has been my closest, most caring friend. He has never been a disappointment to me, though I have been so many times over. I know without a doubt that He lives. I know that He knows and loves each of God's children infinitely. I am so excited to be His hands and bringing others unto Him. He blessed me with a mom who I could not be more like. I love her for all that she is, and all that she does for me. Her testimony, and my dad's testimony got me where I am today because they lived it. I am so excited to be a missionary. It is the craziest, most perfect thing I have ever decided to do. Pray for me, and know I'm praying for you. Off to Utica, see you in 18.
