Better late then never right?? Sorry I get behind and then time just gets away from me but no excuses! I'm been slackin and I will do better! Okay. So I have been called to serve in the Paraguay Asuncion Mission and I report on August 15, 2013 to the Argentina MTC. I will be speaking Spanish too so if I come back with an accent...no making fun! Deal? If you would have asked me a year ago if I would go on my mission my answer would have been, "....nah." But as soon as I dug into the Book of Mormon and really understood it, I realized that I needed to tell everyone and anyone about the Gospel and how important it is to me. So a mission is the best way I can do that. I will miss my family and friends tons but I know that Paraguay is where I am meant to be for 18 months. :) And my family and true friends will still be here when I am back. The Gospel is an amazing thing and I cannot wait to share it with the people of Paraguay.
