Disney Lovin

If you know me, you know i'm a Disney freak. 
If you don't know me, now you know I'm a Disney freak.
My brother and I were listening to Disney music on Pandora.
Tarzan (the Broadway Cast) came on.
Once we heard this lyric we both thought it was missionary related :)
"In learning you will teach and in teaching you will learn."
and just another of my favorite quotes :)
"With every ending comes a new beginning"

True right?
That's another reason why I really love Disney :)

*Miracles*

The Lord creates miracles.
Today, was one of them.
I called my doctor to get my mission evaluation. 
One hour later I was sitting in the doctors office.
It went great!
Afterwards, I go visit my dentist.
She said they could fit me in on Thursday at 9AM.
When I get home...
They call me an hour later saying that they had an opening.
I was in the dentists office 30 minutes later.
I did both my doctor and dentist evaluation in one day.
It was awesome!!!
I was feeling very tired and loopy all day.
I'm not sure if it is the TB Test or something else.
But I survived.
We went to the BYU country, swing and Latin dancing.
It was so much fun.
And there were tons of cute boys.
They asked me to dance.
BEST. DANCE. EVER!
Why? Because it was a country/swing dance.
I've always wanted to swing dance.
The guy had to pick up the girl so her back is on his thigh and she was in a 90 degree angle.
This boy picked me up like I was a feather.
He was strong.
Other boys came up to talk to me.
If I were to go to BYU i'm sure i'd be married by now.
I am way excited to attend BYU when I get home from my mission.
It was the best feeling being there :)
P.S. I can submit my mission papers now :)

Emotions

First off, Happy 10/11/12!! 

Ever since President Monson announced the age change my emotions have gone crazy!
It's a feeling of peace, love, comfort, scared, nervous, sad and others I can't quite describe.
Put all those emotions in a ball. Now imagine "excitement" all around it.
It's empowering it all.
Side note: There is no anger, negativeness or doubt in any of the emotions
Yesterday, I talked to an RM about it.
These are the words that came out of his mouth.
"It's the best feeling ever."
He just smiled and looked at me.
He said no more and no less.
I thought to myself- He's right.
And smiled back.
Yesterday I decided to go to the temple. 
It was an incredible feeling (as always)
Very peaceful. Loving. And powerful.
We were there for about an hour and a half.
As they say, "Being in the temple is time well spent."

Pinky Promise

Last April, one of my best friends and I made a promise.
I promised him I would write him on his mission.
Then when we are both on our missions we promised to write each other.
By the time he got home, I would still have about a year or so left (less then that now).
So, he said, "You better still write me when you are on your mission."
I laughed, "No my friend, that is when you write me."
He laughed and agreed.
We pinky promised.


Yes, we are 19 and still do pinky promises.
I'm not embarrassed about it.
I'm excited :)
In a few months I will be on my mission.
Can we keep that promise?
There is only one way to find out.

I Love General Conference

General Conference has been incredible! It always is. Always. But for some reason it was 10x's better. I'm not quite sure why. I'm just very glad it was. What a great blessing.
  
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~


As you all know the missionary age has changed. Boys-18 (and graduated)...Previous age was 19. Girls- 19...Previous age was 21
I honestly thought that I had a couple more years. But I know my time has come and the time is now.



~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I am going to serve a mission
.
      ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I'm a Mormon, I know it, I live it and lets be honest we all know I LOVE it! I love the Gospel. I love the Church. I love our leaders. I love the temples. I love my Heavenly Father. I'm grateful for the atonement, for missionaries, for families. But I am especially, truly grateful for my Savior and all he has done for me.




~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

It's because of Him I can become clean and return to live with my Father in Heaven. Same goes for you. 
You and I are incredibly blessed. 
He loves me more than I can ever imagine.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I have been thinking about going on a mission ever since I was 14. I remember sitting in Mia Maids. The teacher asks us, "Where do you see yourself in let's say, 7 years?" Most girls answered, "College"..."Married"..."Married and Pregnant"..."Married and with at least one child." Then came my turn to answer, "On a mission." Most of the girls turned to look at me. They gave me a gentle smile. I was only 14 I still wasn't sure. As the class went on I got a warm, happy, peaceful feeling that I was going. I only thought to myself, "Could it really be? Am I really going?" A soft voice answered, "Yes."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Four years ago I got a special blessing. It tells me what is to come. It helps me in my life. It guides me to where I am supposed to go. Ever since I got this incredible blessing, I knew I was supposed to go on a mission. Most doubted me. Okay, everyone doubted me. But I stood strong and kept believing. Whenever General Conference came around that is when I felt strongly that I am going to serve. It brought tears to my eyes. It brought excitement to my soul. And It brought blessings to my life. Never have I doubted my Savior that I wasn't going.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
 
I've been writing my lovely missionary friends. Every time I receive a letter I get 10x's more excited for my mission. They tell me how tired they are, how challenging it can be. But not only do they tell me that, they add on...but it is worth it.
I can't wait to feel tired, to study the gospel every day and every night. I can't wait to receive the blessings that come from it. I can't wait to share my testimony. I can't wait to serve my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I am blessed.

Thank you for the love and support! You guys are awesome! :)
