Well, this is it!! I enter the MTC tomorrow at 1:10. I am so excited for this amazing opportunity to serve the Lord for two years in Alabama! I am thankful to everyone who has supported me on this journey so far. I won't see you all for two years, but I know that those two years will fly by.
My family has set up this blog so that they can post my weekly letters and pictures from the mission. I hope you read it. And I hope that I hear from some of you via mail too. A missionary can never get too many letters :) My parents should update my mailing address on this blog so that its always available. Also, my mission president has set up a blog (alabamamissionupdate.blogspot.com) on which he regularly posts pictures and information on the missionaries.
But, more important than getting frequent letters, I know this gospel is true. I have made the decision to go on a mission because I know that the sweet spirit the gospel brings can change minds and lift hearts. I am thankful for the guiding force the gospel can be in our lives.
I love you, and hope to hear from you all!
Your friend,
