We are getting SOOOOO close!!!! I can officially start my papers! And I am going to talk to my bishop in.......1 WEEK!!!! I am so beyond ecstatic! It is finally starting to feel so real and close, because it is! Now I am starting to get scared about preparing hahaha! It finally hit me! So here are the main things that I have been doing:
1. Going to mission prep class(I seriously cannot function without this class anymore)
2. Writing all of the missionaries(It is so inspiring to hear the words of those that I am close to as they serve the Lord)
3. Going to all of the farewells of said missionaries(It gets me pumped and excited to serve!)
I am also starting my basic missionary stockpile which I will really start on as soon as I have a call!
4. Going to the temple once a week(blessings immediately started to come! yay!)
5. Teaching a primary class!! (So this one is new, but there is nothing like the gospel in very pure and simple ways that get you ready for a mission!)
Here is the latest news:
DOMINIQUE TURNED IN HER PAPERS!!!!! Oh my goodness, we have been waiting soooooo long for this moment!
Elder Martinez is officially in the MTC as of Wednesday! I thought that I was going to miss saying goodbye because I got an early call into work, but Dominique saved the day on Wednesday and we got to help pack him up, and watch him drive off :( You know that overwhelming desire to hug someone because you are not going to see them for like 2 1/2 years but you can't? Yeah, total awkward handshake moment there, we were all on the verge of tears. Very bittersweet moment :)
And again 1 MORE WEEK FOR ME UNTIL THE PAPERS START!!!!!!!!!
