Want my mission call already.

Two of my friends are leaving for they're missions and I haven't even started on my papers yet, I want to get to 250 before I start on papers, but maybe I'll stick to 260, I have no idea, I just want to have my call already, as I been reading about the progress of mission papers, it looks like it will take a couple of months to even get the call, I can't wait like that there's 5 months left to this year, I want to go out in 2012, not 2013
and 5 months plus the time to get to 260 or 250, I don't even know my weight right now because the scale is broken, the time is just slipping away
A friend of mine who got back from his mission in the summer, I was talking to him bout weight and not sure when to even start my papers, but he said the weight will come off during the mission.
which makes me lend into the 260, but a part of me want to wait to 250, it's just time is slipping away from me, I don't want to go out in 2013, because 2012 is suppose to be my year to go...
but there might be a reason why I'm leaving later then I would like, it could be there's someone out there who I need to teach, or the right mission just for me.
I don't know, I just want to have my call already.

Endure to the end, don't ever give up, never.

Repentance

I had a feeling I should post about  repentance
We have all sin and we need to repent, I know from my own experiences that if you repent, you feel free, you have a change of heart, you feel closer to Heavenly Father
last night I was searching in the  index (After the Book of Mormon) 'Forgive, Forgiven, Forgiveness'
There were a couple scriptures which really stood out to me
Mosiah 4:10 'And again, believe that ye must repent of your sins and forsake them, and humble yourselves before God; and ask in sincerity of heart that he would forgive you; and now, if you believe all these things see that ye do them.'

Enos 1:4 'And my soul hungered; and I kneeled down before my Maker, and I cried unto him in mighty prayer and supplication for mine own soul; and all the day long did I cry unto him; yea, and when the night came I did still raise my voice high that it reached the heavens'

Heavenly Father is forgiving of us, He want us to be free from our sin, and to live with him again, there's this song which I really like, the person who wrote and sang  it was at the best of EFY which we attended
There's also this talk given at General Conference on repentance
Endure to the end, stay strong in the Gospel and you won't regret it

I moved

Well, I moved.

It's all very different, new stake, new ward, new people. I feel young at the single ward, more then half of them are back from they're missions, or they have a year or more finished in college, and all the guys know each other in the single branch, when I only know Nathan
But beside that the house is okay, doesn't feel like home yet, but will later on I guess

My plans are still to start on my mission papers in August, and leave in October or November
My friends been getting back from efy, it doesn't even seem like it has been a year since I was there last, I will miss going as a youth, but after my mission I'll be going as a counselor every summer until I can't anymore, I love efy so much, and as a counselor I'll be able to help the youth,

I leave with you today, a MormonMessage video, Ponder the time when the spirit has been there to strengthen you.


Endure to the end, stay strong in the Gospel and you won't regret it

I'm Moving




Hey readers,
Well as I have posted about already, I'm moving but I didn't know when.. but now I do, I'm moving on the 6th of this month

It's a sad time, for leaving my ward which I have grown up in all my life, but it's also a time for new experiences, a new stake and ward, new people as well
I visited the family ward last week with my family, I attended the family ward for two hours but then I went to the single ward (They meet in same building, which is also new, in my old ward we were the only ward who went to the building)
I liked the family ward and the hour I spent in the single ward, I met up with my friend Nathan from efy at the single ward, and I saw two other people who I know, so it was all good, I will go back this week for the full three hours

Packing to move take a lot of work.... and boxes, we got 100 boxes all pack, and we still got more to pack, we been throwing away a lot of useless stuff and just random things which we don't use anymore

I went to my last fireside in my ward, it was an RM fireside, his name is Danny, in one of his stories he told us about  his best companion
This companion have a speech impediment, he had a hard time talking to people, Danny said this was how he started talking to people "Hi, W----W---We're Miss--Missionaries", Danny said it was very hard for his companion to talk to people, but once he got comfortable and became friends with people, he didn't had such a hard time talking to them

This story makes me think of me, Some of you who don't know me in real life, but I have a speech impediment as well, and I'm the same way as Danny's companion.
When Danny was telling this story, it was hard not to cry, I felt the spirit so strongly
He told us that his companion had a real desire to go on his mission.... as do I, I'm losing the weight for my mission, I'm studying, preparing myself, I want to be the best missionary I can be




After the fireside, I was talking to Danny, I was stuttering and took me couple of seconds for the words to come out, I told him that the story of his companion make me think of me, when I go on my mission
He said that he know I'll be a great missionary and he said he will keep in touch with me (because I'm moving) he told me to let him know when I get my call




I know that the Gospel is true, if it wasn't then I wouldn't be going on my mission
Endure to the end, stay strong in the Gospel and you won't regret it
