Future Missionary

I am slowly becoming of age you might say. The days are slowly creeping by, and at the same time I can't believe how close it is getting. 3 of my friends have left or will be going with in the next week and a half. Our time to hang out and have fun is slowly running out. We are trying to cram in all we can, the last snowboarding trip, the last hang out. It's kinda depressing, but at the same time so very exciting to see the change taking place in their lives and how excited they are to go out and serve the lord. It's amazing what preparing for a mission can do to a group of rambunctious young men who have been friends since middle school. It is so amazing to see your friends change and to see the light of Christ in them. To see how they glow, and how strong in the spirit they become. I am so excited and sad at the same time because by the time i leave, they will all be gone. It's so exciting and kinda sad to think the last few months before i go, all my high school friends will be out there serving the Lord. (sad cause i won't really have any one to hang out with anymore, except for Michael, Dallin and Hesston:) ) but my time is soon coming. My papers are in progress and all i am waiting on now is my doctor appointments. I am super excited to get out there! As I study, I'm finding a desire to feast and know more. I want to know all I can about the gospel and to be the best missionary I can be.
