Called to Serve

About 4 weeks ago I made the decision to go on a mission. 2 weeks later my papers were submitted and not even 2 weeks after that (on Friday, June 10th) I received my call to serve in the Hawaii Honolulu Mission. I will be speaking English and I report to the MTC on July 20th! So that puts it at 10 weeks from the time I decided to go to the time I'm in the MTC. Pretty fast, but I couldn't be more excited!! My next 6 weeks go like this:

Jun. 14-22 work at Dad's office/prepare
Jun. 23-26 family reunion at Lake Jordanelle
Jun. 27-30 visit Bryn and Sierra
Jul. 1-17 Hill Cumorah Pageant in New York
Jul. 20 report to MTC
Aug. 3 Hawaii






Just so you can visualize......


work to family reunion at Jordanelle





to visit Bryn and Sierra to Hill Cumorah Pageant



to MTC




to Hawaii, where I'll stay for the next 18 months!!





Fun-check. Busy-check. Spiritually edifying-check. Does it get any better than this??

I Bet You're Surpised to See This!!

Well, it's been quite a while since I last updated my blog, and at the request/demand of Natalie, I decided I should probably give a little update. The problem is, there really isn't much to tell about this past year. So instead I'll just tell give you a quick rundown of what's new in my life.

I am still at BYU-Idaho. I have an Associate's and only have two more semesters left until I get my Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood/Special Education. I teach at a preschool and have so much fun with those little cuties. I spend way too much time doing homework, but only 4 more weeks until I get 5 months off for the summer!! I am currently taking a "Teachings of the Living Prophets" class, which is my favourite class that I have ever taken in my life! It's awesome and I have learned so much. I have one piece of advice for everyone: READ THE CONFERENCE TALKS! They are absolutely amazing and you get so much more from them that you can add to what you actually remember from general conference.

Hmmm.....that's about it! I told you there wasn't much. But don't worry, I love my life. I wouldn't ever trade it for anything different.

P.S. Along with being the most terrible blogger, I'm also the most awful photographer (as in I never take photographs). I'm sorry I have no pictures to put up with this post, but I will soon.
