Missions Missions Missions

First of all some great pics from my FAVORITE missionary.

What a great guy. I know right? He is pushing forward and working hard. It is great to see his devotion and amazing work ethic. I can see his growth and it makes not being with him real easy. I honestly thought I would be a mess for about three months. I mean I've had my moments, but for the majority I am just overwhelmed with happiness! Is it weird that I don't like feel horribly sad that he's not here? I definitely miss him but I am fine with him right where he is. There are times I wish I could talk about things with him....like... for instance...
The fact that I am going on a mission??? Wow those words coming out of my fingertips are crazy! As soon as it was announced that the age for BOTH men and women was lowered, I had the spirit telling me I was going on a mission but it took me a whole 2 days to fully admit it. But wow. I feel sooooo blessed to be able to go and I know it is right for me. Also who gets the chance to serve a mission at the same time as their best friend! The time is already slipping through my hands! I feel like it is going by so fast and before we know it we will both be back. Crazy!
The sunday session talks really hit me hard. Showing your loyalty, not postponing promptings, service, and showing your love for the Lord. Wow they were SUCH great talks! I couldn't have been more touched. I know this Church is true and I can't believe I am going to be able to go share that! The fact that it is happening so soon is crazy to me! I am so excited though:) woohooo! I love missions :)
