So I finally received my call letter this Friday. I had the opportunity to open with my family at home. I will be serving in the Texas Mcallen Mission. I will be reporting to the mission home on May 17. I have a little more than a month to get ready. I really should have started buying everything a while back but I do like to procrastinate. :] But I am glad that I finally have my call and a date set to begin. Now I just need to start planning and setting everything straight here at home. The first thing one of my friends asked me was if I was ready to give up facebook and texting. The answer is NO! But I look forward to giving things up for the Lord for the next two years. I can't wait to be part of this marvelous work and wonder here in South Texas.
I really liked this part of the letter where it states, "as you devote your time and attention to serving the Lord, leaving behind all other personal affairs , the Lord will bless you with increased knowledge and testimony...of the truths of the gospel...". Aren't those amazing blessings the Lord promises us. Yes, most definitely I will give up facebook, texting, and talking on the phone for this.
I am excited and can't wait to begin. I know this Church is true!
