Starting the process

Well as of Sunday I have started my mission papers. After talking with my Bishop, him and everyone else has said to be aware that Satan will try and make it so that I won't be able to serve a mission. He is very smart at what he does, and from just a couple days into the week and I can say that Satan doesn't waste his time at attacking your weaknesses. But guess what Satan? Aside from the fact I decided on Monday you are a douche and I don't like you at all when you are trying to make me feel bad. It's not going to happen. Because I know in my HEART & MIND that I want to serve a mission.

Like I said in a previous post that Tuesday is one of my longest days at  school. I was there from 8:30am-9pm. I took a nap in the LDS Institute building. When I finally woke up an Institute teacher came up to me... It was seriously just what I needed. We had a nice short chat but in that chat I was able to tell him some key moments of my life. This amazing man was sent to me to tell me what  I really needed to hear yesterday. As simple as the phrase is, "You are here this semester for a reason" it really did get to me. Because as I've been preparing I've been so frustrated with myself for not already having my call and serving the Lord. 

I really want to be wearing that name tag that says I am here to represent the Savior Jesus Christ and to tell you what I believe. I want people all around this world to know of this beautiful gospel that I love so much and to be able to join it if they choose to. 

I can honestly say to you at this current moment that I am so blessed the Lord does bless those of you who are trying. I can't wait for everything to fall into place. Yet I know I'm still going to be challenged but I know that if I keep focus on my goal that I will be able to get there.

Yes we are coming. And it is a wonderful thing to happen.
