The Papers are in!

I am preparing to serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I recently finished all the paper work and submitted it to the church. Now, I am waiting for my mission call.

I could be asked to serve almost anywhere in the world, speaking almost any language. I will be gone for 18 months. Everyone tells me it will be the best 18 months of my life so far. All I know is that I'm excited. I've been looking forward to this opportunity for years, and submitting my papers has made it feel more real. This is really happening.

I have set aside this blog for the posting of events that occur while on my mission, but I figure the months leading up to it have a few important events that should also be posted. In a few short weeks I will be posting the location of my mission call and all the crazy feelings that will go along with it. I know I'm looking forward to having stories to tell, I hope you are looking forward to reading them!
