Less Than A Month!

This is just crazy! It's less than one month away until I am in the MTC! I spent a few hours yesterday with Brother McLeerly in my Ward who actually went to that same mission back in 2001. He told me a lot about the food which is going to be great. BBQ is just down my alley and I'm going to have to be careful so that I don't gain a lot of weight. There is also just so much to explore literally out your back door. It's like a jungle down there and it will be a lot of fun to get some great pictures of the landscape and the area. He also had some great ideas on how to be organized and keep things together. I hope to remember all of them so it will make me more effective. It got me so excited to finally head down there and start the work. He showed me some of the people and what the area's are like and just how things work while you are out there in the mission. It really helped me a lot and I feel so much more confident about heading out there to serve the Lord.

Well I think it's now official that I have everything I need for my mission. Now I just have a few books that I would like to finish reading before I go, but with how things go at work and stuff I am not too sure how much of a possibility it will be. Mom seems to be taking things pretty well so far. I know it's hard for her and it's only going to be 2 years. Right now it just seems like such a short amount of time to go out and serve. I want to make every minute count and hope that I will have the spirit with me to find those that are ready to be taught.


So this is my last post for March, and I probably will only have time for one or two posts this next month since I need to keep preparing and try to finish a bunch of things before I leave. Love you guys and I'll cya next time!

Little Update to Blog

There really hasn't been anything too exciting to tell you about. We had an Easter party over at Papa's house yesterday. Here is a picture of Brynley finding the eggs along with our cousins. Easter was so early this year! We had a relaxing Easter Sunday today. One thing I added to the blog is a counter to let you know how much longer until I get into the MTC. I plan on changing that to days until I come home once this is finished counting down. Thanks everyone for your continued support and I'll let you know if anything exciting happens soon :)

New Presidency Picture

I'm sure by now all of you have heard or seen who the new 1st presidency is. My mom just sent me the new picture of the presidency and I thought I might as well share it on here for those that would like it as a wallpaper or just to have. So here you go!
