A lot of my mind is consumed by thinking of travel plans.
Not for any particular reason, just for the future.
Lately I've just been thinking of how BIG the world is.
I mean seriously.
New Zealand, Bangladesh, Ohio, Netherlands, Iceland, Argentina,
Ukraine, Fiji, Ireland, Switzerland, Flordia, Canada, Idaho, and China.
When you look at all those you think how different these places truly are.

In this little brain of mine I think, "oh, I'll go there-one day"
Realistically, I probably wont be hitting all of these places,
but.... A girl can dream, right?

However, even though my thoughts are consumed by this a lot,
more recently I've been thinking....                          


"Where will I be for the next 18 months?"

yup, you've read that correctly. 18 months.
for those who don't know or can't guess what that means...


I'll be serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints.
** if you don't know what that means or want to know more go here*

I could not be more excited. It is simply, just right.
My mission papers are officially in so now it's the waiting game.


Everyday, or every 5 minutes (according to my roommate) I think of a new place I'll go.
Honestly, I have just as much of a clue as you reading this do.
The possibilities are endless.
So many places in this big grand world and who knows where I'll be.

For 18 months, year and a half, 547 days, 78 weeks, 13,148 hours
I am going to be a Sister Missionary for my church.
I am going to teach the Gospel of Jesus Christ to those who need it.
I am going to grow both intellectually and spiritually.
I am going to commit people to baptism.
I am going to make new life long friends.
I am going to challenge people to read the Book of Mormon.
I am going to adapt to new or old culture.
and most importantly....
I am going to do this with a smile on my face.

hop on board bloggers, this is just an adventure waiting to happen.
