Just under 2 months. I don't really feel it yet. There's too much other exciting things happening all through out July that I'm just not thinking about packing or anything like that. But I do know the timeline......... My farewell is July 28th, I'll fly to Utah the night of August 13th, and then report August 14th. Props to Noelle for being my companion in Utah and getting me around while I'm there. It's fun that she took care of Rachel and getting her out on her mission and now she gets to take me!!!!! How much fun! Plus the fact that I frikin love her and haven't seen her in forever and we always giggle a lot when we're together :)
Other news, my mission President sent me homework............ Not cool. I basically have to write an essay about some scriptures about missionary work. An essay, to the man who determines my life for the next 18 months.......... NO PRESSURE!
Clothes, I think I'm pretty set. There are some things that I'll just have to get when I'm there because you can't really find good winter boots in Southern California in the middle of the Summer :) People keep offering me clothes. I'd love to take your clothes :) I always love free clothes. Hopefully I'll be able to not look frumpy, but cute enough for people to want to talk to me.
I'm excited to go. I'm excited to meet new people that are completely different from me. I'm excited to teach to others what has literally saved me. Something that I just learned for myself recently, but know that I will never stray from. It is a message of joy and love. It is a message that everyone has heard once before, and is searching for without even knowing it. I love this gospel. I want everyone to hear it. And, I'm excited to teach in the same place (reporting the same day) as my f.h.e. bro from last semester! It's gonna be a fiesta!!!!
