I am preparing to serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. (We're often referred to as Mormons, or LDS.) I want to explain why I am going, share the things I am learning, and share my experiences as I prepare to serve. I want to share with you the things that I know to be true.

Lisa, My Role Model
In the evening I went to the Bradshaw’s house to visit Lisa. I miss seeing her; she is so awesome. We had a great conversation, about my mission, her mission, and Riley’s mission. She showed me all his pictures, and that was a lot of fun. She also gave me a lot of advice and encouragement. She said that the night before I leave I’ll probably be flooded with doubts, but I just need to force my way through, and stick to my resolve, and go. She says it’s something I’ll never regret. =) I believe her. And I’m so glad that I’ll get to be more like her by going on a mission. My mission is on the opposite coast from where she went, but there’s a lot of similarities. Anyway, I think the world of her, and I’m more excited for myself than I was before. She says there’s a lot of things about it that aren’t glamorous, just hard. But the good moments are bursts of sunshine that make the whole thing worth it. I'm going to grow immensely. =)
