mission boys

yesterday was fast sunday. easliy the worst sunday all month.
it gives me headaches. literally.
other then that, it's awesome:)
lessons usually are really good that day. i'm not sure if it's because i'm food deprived or whatever, the point is that they're awesome.
and today was no exception.
missionary work. :)
simply one of the best topics in the church, i think.
me and my parents are converts so it's near and dear:)
it's really werid tho to think about it. if two 19 year old guys didn't decied that it was crucial that they served the Lord, i wouldn't be here..
well, i'd be here.. just prolly not in utah, or blogging, or be..well.. me!
i prolly wouldn't be a member, or be sealed to my family forever and ever.
i'm certain that i would have screwed up a lot worse then i have, and
i'm positive that i'd be in a real tough place.
mostly becasue it seems that i get myself into really sticky situations here, and i have the gosple in my life. it always tends to work out.
always.
i'm CERTAIN that without the constant guidance of the Lord, i'd be screwed.
i couldn't imagine life without knowing the plan of salvation is true.
or knowing that once  i find my lover, i can be with him forever and ever:)
just those little things..
so i decided, officially, no matter what (again), 
i'm gonna get married to a return missionary who's gonna take me through the temple.
in my life plan, there isn't anywhere where i can take 18 months from to serve..
i really wanna get married and have a career before then.
but after the lesson today, i'm not sure anymore.
serving a mission would be incredible. introducing people to the fullness of the gosple.
like they'll finally know. know what life's all about and KNOW that no matter what, they're never ever alone. there's someone looking who's so powerful, who's so amazing, so perfect, looking out for us. And he knows us. indiviually. like woah man.
and lets be honest, things never ever go as planned:)
come what may, and love it. right?
the reason i posted about this, wasn't just because i needed a post. haha although that usually tends to be the case. but this time, it's not.
i was really tempted not to go to church this sunday. none of my family went, so i didn't wanna go alone.
but then i decided i was gonna go. it's gettin close till i'm done with young womans and i'm not missing out AT ALL if possible:) good thing too. cause i would've missed out on such an amazing lesson that was much needed. it TOTALLY was one of those lessons when you swear they were talking directly to me.
being in young womans has helped me so so SO much. it's not even funny. thanks to matt parks.. matt's a neighbor who moved into our old apartments and quickly became a good family friend. so being the life long missionary that he is,:) he contacted the yw leaders and they came and my parents shipped me off to camp a week later.
AND this year:) it's my yittle sisters turn:)
she's turns 12 in june,so she can gooo:) i'm excited to see what it's like for her:)
DAY 14: a letter to someone who's hurt you recently...
 

can't say that i have one for him.. not really worth the time to sit down and actually write one for:)

  1. I loved this post, thanks for sharing! Missionary work is awesome - and so is Matt Parks :) Marrying a returned missionary (who still is a missionary at heart, and is worthy to attend the Temple) is the best decision you could ever make!
