I've been given much and now it's time to do some paying back. I am going to spread the knowledge that has given me hope, confidence, and happiness. My God is a God of love, and knowing that he loves me and us.. gives me the greatest happiness I've ever known. I want to share that.
Today I sent in the required documents to get my mission call, to serve a mission for God, but in partnership with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (?) :) I'm elated!!!!!! It has taken me a while to decide if this is the right thing for me to do at this time in my life. I've come to the conclusion that it is, obviously.
I will know where I am to serve in about a week and a half. They (the church) will send my papers to my house in a big white envelope. State side? OC?
My parents are willing to pay half the expenses. I am paying the other half. Guess how much? Ugh. $7,200 us dolla. Mucho Money. That's $400 a month for 18 months. In the documents, it asks you when you would be able to leave by. I chose April 1, 2011..I didn't even think about April fools..hehe, but April will give me enough time to save money. I'm also considering selling everything I own. Interested in buying??
Last but not least... I'm moving back to my parents house. This is possibly the hardest thing in the world to do right now. It will save me soo much money, but it's hard to get along with my Step-mom. Six months? I think I can have more charity for six months. This has been long time coming, it's time we work out our differences and share the bonds of family! :)
I am so excited to serve the Lord!
Bee prepared ye buccaneer
