Farewell!

The time has come! It's only Thursday, but I don't have any more time for blogging before I'm set apart as a missionary. (on Sunday! YAY!!!)
For the past few weeks I've swayed from feelings of anxiousness or numbness. But recently all I feel is EXCITEMENT! I LOVE my savior Jesus Christ, I LOVE His church, and I LOVE teaching His gospel! My dream of being a missionary is coming true and I could not be happier! Is there really anything else I can say?
Nope! The only thing on my mind is "YAY YAY YAY YAY EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

Until we meet again, I'll leave you with one of my favorite quotes:

"When we stagger or stumble, He is there to steady and strengthen us. In the end He is there to save us, and for all this He gave His life. However dim our days may seem, they have been a lot darker for the Savior of the world. As a reminder of those days, Jesus has chosen, even in a resurrected, otherwise perfected body, to retain for the benefit of His disciples the wounds in His hands and in His feet and in His side—signs, if you will, that painful things happen even to the pure and the perfect; signs, if you will, that pain in this world is not evidence that God doesn’t love you; signs, if you will, that problems pass and happiness can be ours. Remind others that it is the wounded Christ who is the Captain of our souls, He who yet bears the scars of our forgiveness, the lesions of His love and humility, the torn flesh of obedience and sacrifice."
-Jeffrey R. Holland, January 2003 Ensign
