Getting ready to serve a mission is a lot of work and it's a lot of hard work! There's preparing yourself physically and mentally and emotionally and financially and above all Spiritually.This week alone since receiving my call 3 days ago....I have been super duper stressed out! Satan knows that when I don't think clearly I don't accomplish much!
Sooo right now I am focusing on my passport and my money situation and my license, It's a lot to deal with at once but I know that I can survive.
Also I am starting to practice my Spanish a little each day! Whew I can't wait till I am fluent enough to hold a conversation!
Last but not least scripture study, going out with the sisters, looking at all the stuff needed for pre-mtc training it is a lot of work!!!
Oh also getting ready to enter the Temple and for the life style change after that! Also all the shopping. Ugh! I am not a girl that likes to shop and man does Ecuador require that I shop like a maniac! ( But a very picky maniac!!)
Ok more later mwhahahhaa
Love

And the Adventure Continues
We are officially at 5 weeks today since meeting with my stake pres, President Silva. And he informed me yesterday that he had a little trouble at the beginning and my papers were not actually submitted to Salt Lake till September 2nd. That was 14 days ago! But last Friday in all this waiting something magical happened!!!
My ldsmail.net email opened!
Also my portal has a new button for my "pin" which is attached in my call packet!
After all this worry and strain it is finally coming true the lord is finally trusting me to teach his children and serve. But with this comes the responsibility that i have to follow through with all of my promises to the Lord which includes exact obedience no matter how hard he makes that I will not fail because I can't! I promised if the Lord saw me fit to serve that I would serve fully and honestly and push with all my might! I honestly can't wait to find out where i am going and surprising I have become very excited about serving stateside! I know he will lead me exactly where I am needed and if that means in my own back yard then I will trust him to lead me to those that can hear my words and know the message of the restored gospel!!! No matter where... (OK except 2 places and that's only because I really don't want those distractions) but other than those two places I will go with a full and happy heart to preach in my native tongue or in a foreign land because it's not about me it's about me standing in For him and letting the Holy Ghost do the work!!
The Last Final Days of Guesses.
I love you all and can't wait to know where he needs me and when!!! My biggest dream to serve a mission is finally coming true!!! I am so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
