Well the day I've been waiting for has finally arrived, I got my mission call!!! I'm going to the California, Ventura mission, Spanish speaking :) I report on October 26th. It's forever away, but it will give me much needed time to prepare. I'm so grateful I get to go on a mission and that I recovered so well from my back surgery. I'm actually pretty nervous now. I feel super inadequate. A girl in my ward in her testimony said "When the lord calls, he qualifies" I just hope that this is true in my case. :) Here's a quote from President Hinckley that my stake president showed me.
"Many young women are serving missions. Many are preparing to serve. Not because they aren't married or have nothing to do, but because they have a desire to serve and are therefore called to the work. The reason so many are going is because in the next generation, Heavenly Father will be sending His priesthood army to earth and wants to send them to mothers who have been properly trained and taught in the gospel. What better training can a young woman have than a mission?"
I love this quote! Honestly!
I feel so humbled to have the opportunity to go and share all my beliefs with others and to have the opportunity to hopefully touch peoples lives. I can't wait to turn myself completely over to the lord and be an instrument in his hands. I know without a doubt the church is true!
