Today is the Day!!!!


Today I will be set apart as a full-time missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
I'm speechless.
But these quotes all relate to how I feel...

President George Q. Cannon (1827–1901), First Counselor in the First Presidency said, “God has reserved spirits for this dispensation who have the courage and determination to face the world, and all the powers of the evil one, visible and invisible, to proclaim the gospel and maintain the truth and establish and build up the Zion of our God fearless of all consequences. He has sent these spirits in this generation to lay the foundation of Zion never more to be overthrown, and to raise up a seed that will be righteous, and that will honor God, and honor Him supremely, and be obedient to Him under all circumstances.”

Harry Emerson Fosdick said; “Real Christians do not carry their religion, their religion carries them. It is not weight; it is wings. It lifts them up, it sees them over hard places, and it makes the universe seem friendly, life purposeful, hope real, and sacrifice worthwhile. It sets them free from fear and futility.”

Elder Glenn L. Pace said; “Sisters, I testify that when you stand in front of your heavenly parents in those royal courts on high and you look into Her eyes and behold Her countenance, any question you ever had about the role of women in the kingdom will evaporate into the rich celestial air, because at that moment you will see standing directly in front of you, your divine nature and destiny."
