Missions and Such.

I woke up this morning with the same emotions I fell asleep to last night.   Joy. Excitement.  Apprehension.  All of these emotions are engulfing every aspect of my life right now…It is just so unbelievable that I am leaving for a mission in the middle of the “missionary revolution” (I just made that up haha:). It validates every single revelation I have had about serving Him on the mission field. How desperate is the work that the Lord needs his missionaries now for such change to occur?  And more importantly, how many people have been praying for the gospel?  Oh, I know the change the gospel makes in people’s lives; I know how much it changes every aspect of everything you thought you believed in…and only for the better.  I know the Lord has been preparing me for a very long time, and I can only assume that others have been prepared as well.  What a blessing for them to not have to wait any longer, to be able to leave on our missions right when the Lord needs us. 

My soul is filled with love for the Savior and grateful for his tender mercies this week.  The gospel of Jesus Christ is true, this is his true church and I, along with some of my best friends, my brother, and so many others, will shortly be out on the field testifying to “every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, the everlasting truth of the gospel.”

I am in love with this work, and with this gospel.
