Here's to you, West Virginia!

Monday night I become a FULL time missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. So starting Tuesday and until December 2015 life is about to be completely different.

So here's to the next 18 months! 18 months of:
-waking up at 6:30 in the morning EVERY morning
-wearing a skirt or dress every day
-zero physical contact with members of the opposite sex
-no holding or playing with children :( (the only one I'm legitely having issues with)
-only email or written letters as contact with all family and friends
-spending every second of every day as a representative of Christ
-bringing happiness into the lives of the people in West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania by teaching them about the love Christ has for them
-being filled and guided by the Spirit daily
-and LOVING EVERY SECOND OF IT!

I'm going to miss everyone so very much and I can't wait to see you again in 18 months! But know that I am so excited for everything that is coming in the next 18 months and I'll be thinking of you all! Momma will be running facebook and updating the blog with my letters. My email address will be spackard@myldsmail.net! I would love letters and pictures and updates from all of you because I LOVE all of you! If you want letters emailed to you specifically please give me your email address or to my Madre and we'll make sure they get to you. See you all December 2015!
