mission papers.... CHECK!

as of today, January 24, my mission papers   A R E   S U B M I T T E D.

crazy huh? I KNOW. i'm freaking out just a little. i can't wait to serve the Lord in wherever i am called, and i should be finding out where i am being sent for the next 18 months in just under 2 weeks!! i'm sure my roomies and family are both getting pretty sick of it by now, because all i ever talk about is where i think i might get called. but i just can't contain my excitement! 

time has flown by, and i can't believe i am already submitting my misison papers. the little countdown has been on my phone since the summer, and has been counting down the days since there were 150 left! and now, it says 0. i feel like it was just yesterday when Tyler submitted his mission papers too. i was just as giddy for him! also, if you have read this blog for awhile {or have known me for awhile!} you would know i discovered how badly i wanted to serve a mission about a year ago. {see HERE}

spending 18 months away from my family will be very hard for me, but i know this is God's plan for me. i experience so much joy from this amazing Gospel and all i want is for others to experience it as well. i want nothing more than to bring others to this Church! and i would be happy to do that wherever i am supposed to be :)

and now..... we wait. get excited.

happy Friday! i can't even tell you how happy i am that it is the weekend... again! i feel like we just barely had a weekend, but i'm not complaining here. even though i have a Saturday lab, i am thrilled to have some down time + family time. cheers to the weekend! xx
