Catch Up

    I realize I have not written for weeks! Shame on me. So now I will try to keep this brief while also catching the world up on my crazy life! The biggest, most important news is that I will be serving a mission and I will be serving in the Alabama Birmingham Mission (wait for the applause) SPANISH SPEAKING!!!! I am to report to the MTC on June 12. The call is perfect and I am beyond psyched to serve our Lord for 18 months! I cannot wait to learn Spanish and to grow in the gospel and learn more and more about myself. Since I got my call (last Saturday) I have been praying for a love of the people I will serve in Alabama and perhaps in Mississippi and Tennessee, and I have already been blessed with only a portion of love Heavenly Father feels for his children.
     I know nothing can top that news, but other than that I have been insanely busy and always on my toes. I am seeing more and more blessings from my job as a respite worker, one being its flexible schedule, not to mention a wonderful co-worker (my mother) who often covers for me :). My calling as the FHE Leader in my ward is a calling that brings many blessings as well. I have a new found love and understanding for Family Home Evening and especially for the members of my ward. I hope I can make FHE as strong as possible before I leave.
    Other than that, my mind has gone blank. I spend a lot of time with great friends and with my family. I have been blessed to attend some discussions with the missionaries in my ward. I am keeping busy with classes: sociology, institute and Irish Step Dancing. And most importantly, I'm happy!
