" If Ye Have Desires Ye are Called to the Work.."

Well it has finally come. 85 days later. In less than two weeks I will be reporting to the Provo MTC. Am I scared? HECK YES! Do I feel ready? In a way yes, but will we ever be ready? To all the Sister missionaries preparing to serve... I want to tell you this... Satan is going to be working on you ever so hard! Satan does not want us to go and he for sure doesn't want us to serve our Father in Heaven, and he for sure doesn't want us to bring any into the fold! But can I tell you something.. FIGHT IT! As I am fighting it. It's hard, you will have doubts, you will have friends and family be getting at you with contention. You will have that! But FIGHT IT! Don't let him win. Don't let him get to you! That's what he wants! He wants us to be miserable. I promise you, that as this happens counsel with the Lord. Counsel with him in prayer and in scripture. It may not get better, but there is nothing that we can not do with the Lord on our side.

Life is hard. Life is hard even on the mission (so sisters say), but WE CAN DO HARD THINGS! 

I am so excited to serve the Lord and His people of Virginia. To know that those people can find peace and joy in this gospel and that they can live for all eternity with their family. I love you all!

Virginia here I come!
