A Few Reasons Why I am Looking Forward to the Month of February

HAPPY LAST DAY OF JANUARY!!!!!!!

I LOVE February and I absolutely cannot wait for next month. I have a few reasons to be excited...For instance:

1. My mission papers are in and I hear back next month:

Well it is officially official...MY PAPERS ARE IN. Yesterday I was finally able to meet the with the stake president. His name is President Rasband. He was a really great guy and a great interviewer as well. I had a great time talking to him. He explained the interview process so crystal clear. The mission interview is very different from your standard temple recommend interview, it is a lot more intense...especially if you have a lot to get off your chest. But this is done because when you are on a mission, it is important to not let things from the past get in your way. The stake president needs to know that you are past everything and ready to move forward. The best part of the interview was when he asked me the first question, "Do you have faith and believe in Heavenly Father, His son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost?" I don't know what happened but that question made me light up and smile, and then I let out a brief giggle. Rasband was like, "Why are you laughing?" I was like, "Ha I don't know...I guess I am just really happy that I can answer that question with a certain yes." Whenever I feel the spirit I respond in a few different ways. I cry sometimes, but usually I just smile and laugh. I hope that future investigators realize that I am not laughing because of humor, it is just because I am really happy. At the end of the interview I ended up having to change my availability date because he said he needed to send it in on a Wednesday (the 30th) so I changed it from June 1st to May 30th. He typed in his recommendation and then let me press the "SEND" button. I pressed it and said, "Tah-Dah!" And just like that it was into SLC!

I can't believe that in 2-3 weeks I will know where I am meant to serve for the next year and a half of my life. I cannot wait! It should be here by the 13th of February. If not then, it will come on my birthday! I got home and put this as my status:

 What impressed me most about this post was that the majority of people who "liked" it were my non-LDS friends. It seriously means a lot that even though they are not of my faith, they still support my decisions and care for me. It really shows who my true friends are.

2. Ground Hog Day:

I love this day mostly because it means that I get to watch the movie Ground Hog Day. It is HILARIOUS.



3. A lot of my friends will get their mission calls

4. Galentine's Day!!!!!

It is on February 13th and I have always wanted to do this with a bunch of girlfriends! Soooo college is a perfect time to do it because I have a ton of girl friends here who are readily available for bonding time! The idea came from Parks and Rec. We will probably do something similar to this...

5. Izzy Bernal is coming into town to check out BYU and she wants to shadow me!

6. It is my birthday on the 20th :) My mom is coming into town so that we can buy mission clothes :) Cool beans.

I am so thankful for my life!!!! To quote Nacho Libre, "My life is good, reeeealllllyyy good." Until next time.

Love,
