Mission Prep - 6 days and counting...

Wow... Six days. The days are FLYING past! I've been busy getting everything ready to go. I still need to go shopping for the rest of my clothing, but I've gotten quite a few things done on my Pre-Mission 'to do' list (written up by mom) this past week. My car is listed on KSL classifieds now, I've been continually cleaning my room (for the past three or four months...sorry mom...I'll get on that), I cleaned off my shelf in the hallway to the garage, I extended my driver's license, got my bike in for a tune-up, etc. However, I do still have quite a bit to do yet... Oh well, all I can do is keep pushing forward with it.
I am definitely excited for the opportunity that I have, but I am very nervous to say the least, but I know that as I do those things which I'm supposed to do, and follow the mission rules that I will be supported, strengthened, and blessed so that I can serve to the fullest of my capabilities. I can't wait for the MTC, but moreso for the mission field.
One of my favorite scriptures as of late has been Doctrine and Covenants 128:22. "Courage, brethren; and on, on to the victory!"
"Shall we not go on in so great a cause?"
I love you all, and appreciate all of your support through the years. The gospel is true. God loves you.

Just remember, that the Lord doesn't call who is qualified, but rather qualifies whom he calls!

So, do you take your actual bike on your mission? Or why the tune-up? Yes, this question is from your blonde sister!

Yeah, I ship the bike to my mission...
