I'm Goin' on a Mission... In Three Months.
I got a letter from the First Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints a couple of weeks ago. The news is that I'll be leaving to serve a two-year mission in Carlsbad, California December 21 of this year. I'm completely STOKED about this! The more I think about my mission, the more I am excited about it. Here's some reasons for me to be completely psyched:
-I'll finally be out on a mission!!! 19 years of my life have led up to this moment, and now I'm finally on the verge of taking the next MAJOR step in my life.
-I'll get to spend two years in the service of my fellowman, and the service of my God. What better way is there to spend the next to years then being completely devoted to service to others?
-My mission is English-speaking. English is basically my life, and as awesome as it could have been to learn another language, I'm really grateful that I can serve English-speaking. I feel like it'll help me make more connections with other people...at least I'm hoping this.
-I got a letter from my mission president, and he said we needed to do our best to look professional. Okay, I got this. All through my high school drama experience my teacher told me that I was learning how to present myself professionally (she had no faith in my actual acting abilities...)
-I'll be on the ocean front, and although I will want to go to the beach, just seeing the ocean is always inspiring to me.
Plus there are like 109209183072198426892 other reasons to be excited about Carlsbad, some of them spiritual, some of them more like "oh hey, spring break 2013, I can head right on back"... but yeah, it's gon' be good.
