Called to Serve

       Ever since the October 2012 General Conference there has been an exciting feeling in the air due to the mission age change. WOW! Boys from 19 to 18, and girls from 21 to 19. I know this was an answer to many Latter Day Saints prayers including my own. I was filled with so many questions on where I was going in the next year...another semester of college? work? study abroad? etc. When President Monson got up and spoke of this change, none of my questions mattered anymore because I was GOING on a mission! 

       It has been so exciting the past few months because a lot of my friends have left on their missions, are filling out their mission papers, or recently got their mission call! It is insane and I L-O-V-E it! The Lord knows exactly where his children should serve, and exactly where they will feel comfortable. My cousin got called to Mozambique and of all the people that I know who could live in a hut, and eat bugs, my cousin is the first person I would choose. The Lord knows each of us personally and knows where the perfect place is for us. I am extremely excited to turn my papers in at the end of May! I can't wait to open my big white envelope and see where the Lord is going to have me serve for 18 months!
