I hope
they call me on a mission, when I have grown a foot or two…. Or when I turn 19 J
With the recent announcement that
women can now serve a mission at the age of 19 (instead of 21) I have added
something new to my bucket list! I am excited to say that I have officially
started my paperwork for serving a full-time mission for The Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints, and I can’t wait to go. It has been a crazy ride
for me ever since President Monson got up in the last General Conference and
changed the face of missionary work. I never thought a mission was for me
before that day, but ever since then I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I went
back and forth for a long time, and I didn’t want to make my decision right
when I heard the announcement because I didn’t want to get caught up in the
excitement and make the wrong decision. But after much thought and prayer I have finally
decided there is no better place I could be next fall than serving my Heavenly
Father wherever he sees fit. I love the Gospel and I can’t wait to share that
love with others!
That is so amazing! I know exactly what you mean! Even though I already knew that I was going to serve a mission, it still was difficult for me to make the decision to go right now instead of later. It was just such a huge change from what I had previously planned out in my mind! You'll be wonderful!
