And so it begins!

Well this is it! In a few short hours I will be set apart as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Tomorrow I will fly out to the Mexico Missionary Training Center (MTC) where I will learn Spanish and how to teach the gospel of Jesus Christ to the people in Redlands. I am filled with mixed emotions as the time gets closer and closer, I will miss my family, friends and loved ones but I am so excited to go out and serve the people of California. I am grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ and I can't wait to share it with the people I will come in contact with. I know that the journey will not be easy, but with the Lord on my side I can do anything. Because I have been given much I too must give. Because I have been blessed to have the gospel in my life I must share it! I can not wait to see lives change because of our Savior Jesus Christ. It is through Him and by Him that we are made clean and are perfected.I am so excited to grow closer to our Savior and Father in Heaven.

My hope is that as I share my adventures with each of you your testimonies will be strenghtened and you will be filled with joy, as I have because of the love of our brother, Jesus Christ.Se que JesuChristo vive. I will see you in 18!
