My time has come

OK, I think I'm ready. My suitcases are packed, I've said goodbye to mostly everyone, and I don't have much time left so I better be ready. I have butterflies in my stomach as I think about entering the MTC tomorrow morning because I know that means it'll be a test of endurance for the next 18 months and I'm just beginning the race tonight. I'll try to remember all of the wise words that have been shared with me, and I'll think of home often.

Keep me in your thoughts and prayers. I know that I am doing the best thing for my life right now and I can't wait to discover the Philippines and determine if what people have said is correct. But, anyway, this is goodbye, but not really because you should write me because I love mail! Use my MTC address and DearElder.com and write me for the next 6 weeks until I"m in the field! Do it.

I love you all.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot! I wanted to add my two-cents for this book that I just finished reading. It's amazing! It has changed the way I think of missionary work. I hope it will inspire everyone just as it has inspired and helped me. I read it and began putting it to use and I have been so blessed to really have a good gospel conversation with a coworker. I know that the power of missionary work lies within our everyday. Take it for what it's worth. Enjoy :)
