This blog will be about my life. I'm a member of the Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I have Asperger's Syndrome, things can be a bit difficult for me, but with God on my side, all things are possible,(Matthew 19:26) People say I uplift, inspire, and I'm they're example and a friend, I hope I can do the same towards you, follow the journey.
This past Sunday I was ordain to the Melchizedek Priesthood.
one big step towards my mission, which I plan on having my papers in by April :) I am so excited for what 2013 will bring, I know that this is the year that I'll leave for my mission I wanted to of left back in 2012 as a lot of my friends were leaving.
I have been worrying about leaving late, I'll be leaving when I'm 20 (weird to think I'll be 20 in May) but couple days ago I was reading my Patriarchal blessing and it said, at the appropriate time I'll be called to fulfill a mission.
At the appropriate time.. that really stood out to me, I am glad I read my blessing because leaving "late" has been on my mind but it doesn't matter when I leave, the only thing that matter is I'm still going
I know that Heavenly Father is watching out for me, and for everyone else, I'm thankful for my Savior and for the Atonement which was made possible by Him.
Endure to the end, stay strong in the Gospel and you won't regret it
There are 99 days until May... I got like 47 pounds until I'm at 250, at 250 I'll be starting on my papers I know I'll be able to lose 47 pounds before May, it will be really hard to get there but it'd be so worth it.
One day at a time, just need to keep that in mind.... a day at a time.
I'm still looking for a job, places where I had applied were hiring but didn't hire me I want to get as much money as I can to help out for my mission
during the holidays I got lazy and didn't do much working out, then I was sick last week. so starting today is the time to go... 99days :)
99days to lose 47, heck I think I'll be able to lose a bit more before May which would be awesome, right as I get close to 250 (couple pounds away) I'll start on my mission papers!!!
I'm so excited for this year, I'm getting the Melchizedek Priesthood this Sunday need to keep in mind what is ahead for me.. need to study more a lot more then what I have been doing which wasn't much.
man, I can't wait to know where I'll be going and WHEN! :D
Here is an amazing video from Mormon Messages
Endure to the end, stay strong in the Gospel and you won't regret it
My goal of going on a mission is still there, it have never left.. I plan on leaving before May or during May
Yes my 20th birthday is May 31st, did I wanted to leave this late?, of course not but at least I'm going, that is something I have figured out.. it would of been nice to of leave in the summer of 2012 with a lot of my friends leaving around the same time.
But I'm still going so that counts for it all, I have a friend that is leaving for his mission soon, two weeks before his 20th birthday. his so excited and happy to go, and same for him.. he would of liked to of left early but hey, the mission will still be the same and so it will be for me :)
I have a lot of friends who have been called to foreign speaking missions, such as Italy, Thailand. Brazil, and one in Ukraine.
I would love to go foreign speaking, I think I might be called to go foreign... that may just be my own feeling though.
When I was thinking of where I'll be called to serve I remember this talk couple years ago during the Priesthood session of General Conference April 2010 The Divine Call of a Mission
Watch or read the talk, it is simply amazing
I know that wherever I go, foreign speaking or state side. It is because Heavenly Father has it all planned out for me, he knows which mission will best be for me.
Another great talk that I love is this one The Opportunity of a lifetime
I got a couple of friends on the internet that I'm close with and I have talked to them about leaving to go on a mission soon a lot of them think it's really cool that I'll be doing this and I have talked to a couple of them about my church and what we believe in.
They can't wait to hear where I'll be going either!, haha a couple of them keep on asking me if I have started on my papers and when I'm leaving, they ask how the weight is going as well.
I have told them of places my friends are serving and where my friends have been called to serve.
I can't wait to tell them where I'll be going and when!.
Endure to the end, stay strong in the Gospel and you won't regret it! :)
