Mission Call!

     On June 20 I finally received a big white envelope in the mail. It had been three weeks since I sent my mission papers in, so I was hoping it would come on the 20th, and it did! I think that was the longest 3 weeks of my life. Although, I did learn a lot in those three weeks. I learned the Lord's timing is perfect. Absolutely perfect.

     I was going to have all of my family and friends over to open my call, but then on Thursday when it came, I thought I would just have my immediate family over when everyone got off work that night. I got the letter at about noon that day and we planned on opening it at 5:30. At about 2:00, my mom and dad weren't around and I decided to open it on my own. It was wonderful. I opened it and saw "Georgia Macon" and was overwhelmed with so many emotions. I instantly knew this was the right decision for me at this point in my life. 

     I did some research on the area of the mission and then left for an hour or so to run an errand. When I got back, my siblings and parents told me to go get the envelope. They had no idea I already opened it. I went to get the envelope and then told them I already knew and had them guess where I was going, and then read the letter to them. It was fun to be the only person to know where I was going for a few hours. :)

     I am thrilled to serve in the Georgia Macon Mission for 18 months starting on October 2, 2013. I am excited to share my testimony with people in Georgia, Alabama, and South Carolina.
