Bye Ya"LL

I am going on a mission this WEDNESDAY! BOY am I so ready. I have been at home since Thanksgiving. It has been the hardest thing EVER. The hardest part is probably having to wait this long to serve. God has a big plan for all and he'll let you know what you need to do and when you need to do it. I AM SO excited to be able to go teach people this awesome thing called the gospel. I am pretty clueless on how to do it right now, but I will SO learn! : ).. Like when I went and student taught I had NO IDEA how to teach anything. I was pretty scared, but then I studied and prepared the things I needed to teach and I LOVED it. This is the hardest thing I've ever had to do, but the most exciting/ rewarding thing. I agree with every missionary out there that it is HARD to leave everything and go to a place you've never been and do a thing you've never done. It takes loads of faith and a lot of heart. What an awesome opportunity! I look at my suitcase and everything I have packed and I'm like "WHOA this is not me"... But really it IS ME!! I'm not going on a mission for myself, even though I know it will help me in a lot of ways. It's for the LORD and the people out there just waiting for me to come knock on their door. NOW that is a pretty good feeling to have. I want to forget myself and get the work done so I can help raise up the kingdom of god. I want to be able to come home everyday and hurt from head to toe on the mish. No regrets on this mission. I LOVE this gospel so MUCH! I think I would be lost little girl without it. It is basically awesome. It is what gets me through life seriously. I know that this is true because I can feel in in my heart every single day. GOD BE WITH YOU TILL WE MEET AGAIN!!
