Out of My Hands

I am officially done with all my papers. I have submitted them to the bishop and after he goes through them, he sends them to the stake president, then he said the stake president would call me to set up an interview.

For those of you who know me well know that waiting for the stake president to call to to set up the interview wouldn't fly with me. At the time the bishop told me that, I had already set up my interview with the stake president two days prior.

Yup, I'm anal retentive.

I'm a Pro

Let me start by saying that shots are not a big deal.

Nonetheless, I would like all of you to know how brave I am. The lady giving me the shots was like 97 and she sneezed right before she stuck what looked like a needle as tall as me, into my arm (pretty sure it like like an inch long).

Even a cute old lady couldn't cure the look of pure terror on my face as she giggled and said, "Oh, good thing I didn't have the needle in your arm then..."

Kill me now.

Shots and Paperwork

I don't like either of those words.

If there was one thing that would keep me from going on a mission, it would be getting shots. I haven't gotten shots since I was like five. Does that make me a baby? Perhaps. Am I okay with being a baby? Absolutely!

Another side-note, papers don't take that long. I filled out all the paperwork I was suppose to in like an hour. I think the reason it takes so long is because of all the medical stuff. I hate medical stuff. It makes me grateful I'm a healthy little girl.

My Decision

A lot of people have been kind of surprised by my decision to go on a mission. Not surprised that I am going, more surprised that I decided so suddenly. I think that if everyone knew the inner-thoughts of my brain, they would know that is wasn't a sudden decision at all.

On July 3rd, 2010, I told some of my friends (shout out to 72 and 82) that I wanted to serve a mission. Ever since that day, it has kind of been at the back of my mind, but I had my life to live, so it was never really in the forefront. After much thought and prayer, I knew that I had to let a few other things play out in my life before I could go.

Now that I have let those things play out, I know that the right thing for me right now is to serve a mission!

Let me tell you: I. Am. Pumped! Seriously! Best decision ever! This whole thing has taught me so much about putting my life in the hands of the Lord, and being a tool for Him to use. What a great lesson to learn now!
