IT FINALLY CAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As most of you have already heard I am on my way to New Jersey Morristown mission speaking the Espanol!!!!!!
I am sooooooooooo excited! It is such a priviledge to serve the Lord in anyway, but to be able to dedicate my all to Him for 18 months will change my life forever. I can't wait to get going and find those who have been prepared to hear this wonderful message.
Some thoughts:
- maybe I would come back from my mission as the sweet little girl I've always wanted to be - maybe like lou - Jersey will probably not produce that. Doesn't much matter cause you know it would wear off - it's not who I am unfortunately.
- I am sooo gonna get a kick out of those Jersey peeps!
- I hear it's a beautiful place although for most of my life I have referred to it as the armpit of America :) go figure.
- Learning Spanish - WAHOO!!!!
- tips from Dad - over exaggerate the vouels and consinents when I'm learning so I don't sound like a gringa when I speak and speak proper Spanish, no one likes a lazy speaker.
THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT AND THE LOVE! Right back at ya!
Ps thanks for the Pics Mike - you're the best! Visit Mike's blog and look at all his amazing pictures - http://web.mac.com/thedigitalorange/iblog/B20071005182900/

HORRAY!! How fun! I'm so excited for you! You will be the BEST Missionary! OLE!
So nobody was right on where you're going, but do I get the prize just cause you like me a real lot? Anyway, you better not come back a whole different person, we happen to love you a whole lot just the way you are. The people in NJ are so lucky to have you and although I am jealous beyond words I am so so happy for you and know that you will be the best Missionary ever.
