Well...in case anyone was counting, I'm only 17 days away from entering the MTC--don't tell my mom, she doesn't want me to tell her the countdown anymore. The fact that I'm leaving for 18 months to be a missionary still doesn't feel real yet, and I'm not sure that it will until I'm getting on the plane heading to the Missionary Training Center. So this is my question: Am I ready to be a missionary? I feel ready spiritually; I am ready for the challenge and to share the testimony that my Heavenly Father has shared with me. The lack of items in my suitcase and the list of things I still need to buy, and do, tells me that I am far from ready; here's to hoping everything gets done!
I am giving my farewell talk in Church today and I am excited and praying that what I share will be the will of God.
Oh, I just watched a video last night of a cultural celebration in the Philippines this summer. The Filipino members were celebrating 50 years of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in the Philippines. It was so cool! The Filipino people are very humble, gracious, faithful and awesome! Can't wait to meet them!

You are going to do a marvelous work among the Filipino people. :)
