Mexico Bound!!

Well these last 9 Months have completely flown past! I finished up the semester at BYU-Idaho in April and came back home to Utah. I was hired back on at Chick Fil A South Jordan and filled my time with working full time there. I also made the biggest decision I have had to make yet in my life... I chose to serve an LDS Mission!! I submitted my papers in June and received my call a few short weeks later. I have been called to Serve as a Sister Missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and have been assigned to labor in the Mexico Tuxtla Gutierrez Mission!! I am so excited for this new adventure. Here it is, October 1st and I leave for the Provo MTC on October 16th. Barely two weeks away!! I am excited, nervous, scared, happy, and sad all at the same time! I know it will be hard, but I also know that this is where the Lord wants me!!
My best friend and soul sister, Hannah Avery, is currently serving her own mission in Vinea Del Mar Chile (Yes, I know I probably spelled that city wrong...) She absolutely loves it!! I am so thankful for technology and the ability to email her and receive emails from her every week. They have helped me to become even more excited for my own mission to begin!!
Michael DeLaTorre, my other best friend, is currently in FRANCE! He graduated in May of this year from the University of Utah (go UTES!) and got a job over there at a school! He loves France so how cool is it that he gets to live there for this next year! I miss both Mike and Hannah so much! I feel pretty empty without my two best pals around all the time!
Tomorrow is my last day at CFA. I am pretty sad actually to be leaving there. They really have become like my second family! (It was bound to happen, since I feel like I never leave! I'm always working, but I love my job so its okay!) I have the BEST boss and coworkers ever! I feel like I have become really close to a lot of them!
I am excited and nervous to see how these next 18 months of my life play out. It is going to be quite the adventure. I have never been out of the country, and I have never been away from my mom for that long. It will be hard, but I know it will be worth it. I'll never be able to experience a mission again and I am grateful that I get the opportunity to do it now!
Who knows what will happen when I get home, where I will be, where I will go to school, live, the friends I will have. But I am ready for whatever comes my way!!
