GUESS WHAT?? :D
I randomly decided to check the mission paper countdown on my phone today and I HAVE 23 DAYS LEFT UNTIL I CAN TURN IN MY PAPERS!!!! Ahhhh, I am SO excited! I still remember staring at the countdown in 2012 and thinking "Wow, this is NEVER going to happen..". And here it is! I'm in the process of working on my papers and my excitement level increases more and more every day. Haha I've even had dreams of being called to Russia and freaking out because it's so cold. Yup, I'm obsessed. And excited. I have been waiting my whole life for this and now it's right at my fingertips. Sometime in the next six months, I'll leave my family and friends for a year and a half to share the gospel with my brothers and sisters.
I'm just wrapping up the last of the doctor's appointments and going over a few of the details for my papers. I can't even begin to describe all the thoughts that are going through my head right now! In less than two months, I'll have my call! I keep wondering where I'll get sent to. It's like all of a sudden, the whole world is a possibility. People keep asking me where I want to go, but I don't really know what to tell them. It doesn't matter where I want to go, it matters where my Heavenly Father wants me to go. I don't mind where, I just want to go and serve Him.
I feel so unprepared though... The more I study and learn, the more I realize that I don't know anywhere near enough. There are always more scriptures to memorize, things to study, General Conference talks to read, firesides to go to, the list just goes on and on and on. It can be a bit overwhelming sometimes. But I know that as long as I do my best, God will take that and make it more than I ever could on my own. Because it's His work I'm doing, not mine. With God at the helm, all things are possible. And I will be forever grateful for that.
