Wow! All of my friends are soon to be leaving on their missions, and even more are turning their papers in the next few months-including myself! It is crazy how fast it came to this. Whenever I saw boys in my home ward leave on their mission they looked so old and grown up, and now that it's almost my turn...I can't believe how young I feel! I don't feel as old as I thought I would when I got to this point in my life.
I am sort of dreading the day when each of my friends leave to the MTC, but I need to be grateful that I have so many friends who are willing to serve the Lord. It will be hard to say goodbye but I know that a mission is the best place where they can be and it will be so beneficial for them. They are going to come back stronger people and I am so excited for them.
My roommate opened her mission call last night and she is going to Brazil Santos Mission (right on the coast line!) She leaves August 7th and she will be speaking Portuguese. She is already in love with her mission and is so fanatic about the whole thing. I hope that I can be as ready for my mission call and as happy about it as she was for hers.
I know exactly how you feel! I have so many friends going off on a mission right after the semester or have already left and I'm truly excited for them. I also agree that it's great that we have so many friends that are willing to serve the Lord. :) I can't wait to hear where you go on your mission!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree with you! It's been difficult to see everyone leave and it'll be even harder when I leave especially since it is only two and a half months away! I'm so excited for you to receive your call. As soon as you do, I'm sure you will also feel the automatic love of the people in your mission just like your roommate and I did.
