First Post and Last Goodbye

And my adventure begins! I was set apart tonight to be a full-time missionary. (Don't worry, Sairah is typing this for me. :]) What an amazing experience it was to be set apart and to have a blessing given to me for strength and wisdom in the gospel and to not suffer from homesickness.

Tomorrow begins my true journey into the missionary world. I'm excited, but slightly terrified at the same time. I do feel privileged, though, to be able to serve my Lord and the people of the Washington DC North mission.

For those preparing to serve mission, I have a few words of advice. You've probably heard this from a lot of people before, but you need to study, study, study! Primarily out of Preach My Gospel. And make sure to be reading your scriptures everyday. As I go into the MTC, those are a couple of things that I wish I had done a lot more of after graduating high school to help prepare me for the mission ahead.

This is the blog my family has set up to post my letters to. If you would like to be updated and read my letters, stay tuned and go ahead and follow me. :)

See ya in two!
