I am thankful.

Today I feel more grateful than ever for the missionary age change for sisters.

As I see friends receive their calls, girls I've grown up with, people I don't even know getting their calls, I am overwhelmed with the spirit. I cry every time I hear someone's beautiful news: "sister_____, you have hereby been called by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to labor in the _________ mission"


And every time I hear of someone's blessings, I can't help but think I CAN'T WAIT FOR MY TURN.... I can't wait for my turn :)

The time is fast approaching, but not fast enough. If everything pans out the way I've got it planned, I'll have my papers in in July (technically June, but I'll be in Germany and I don't want my family and friends to miss that wonderful moment).

I am so incredibly grateful for missions- for the blessings they bring to so many families. This church is true... And I can't wait to share it with those who need it.


Happy thanksgiving! May you remember the things that you have, and be grateful for the moments you've shared with those you love. Eat lots of turkey- I know I will :)

Ps. HE'S HOME!! He's home! I'll see him next week, but HE'S HOME!!

".... I really hope I see you."
