One Month!

Today is September 7th and in exactly one month I will be setting foot in the Perú Missionary Training Center where I will spend the following 6 weeks learning Spanish and how to properly teach as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

I feel like I mainly have most of my important preparations done, but still feel like I have a lot to do, which I do!!  Two months to get the right clothes, get immunizations, hygienic supplies, load up on mission appropriate music, go to the temple, and then visit family/friends before I leave is not much time at all! If I was staying in the United States where I wouldn't have to purchase a lot of extra things due to Peru not being a super developed country two months would totally be enough time.  But as of right now, I'm stressing a tad bit about my preparedness.  I do know that everything will be alright and it will turn out as it needs to and the Lord is most definitely there for me and will help me and provide for me if things go awry.

I was informed today at church that my mission plaque has arrived and it just needs a photo!! Things beginning to seem a lot more real!

To finish off this short little post I'd like to share the scripture that I put on my plaque for my "favorite scripture".

It's Doctrine and Covenants 88:67-68

 "And if your eye be single to my glory, your whole bodies shall be filled with light, and there shall be no darkness in you: and that body which is filled with light comprehendeth all things.  Therefore, sanctify yourselves that you reminds become single to God, and the days will come that you shall see him: for he will unveil his face unto you, and it shall be in his own time, and in his own way, and according to his own will."

God speed my friends, and let us live in the light and not the dark.
