19 Days

So as of today I have 19 days until I enter the MTC. Don't get me wrong I enjoy life here and spending time with my friends but I just need to get out of here.

On Monday I was at work and as I was sitting down scanning cards I realized something. I just don't want to be here now. I still have plenty of friends here and I love hanging out with them but listening to the stories of other missionaries and imagining what my experience could possibly be like makes me just want to get into the field.

On Wednesday I got a letter from the MTC. They asked if I would log onto this website and watch a few videos. Basically it's filmed documentary style and a camera crew follows a few pairs of missionaries so we can see what it's really like live. While I was watching this I and saw how they plan their lessons and how they speak to investigators I just tried to imagine myself doing the same thing. Some people say it scary, but I don't. I just think it's the most exciting thing in the world. I have a chance to present myself as an authorized representative of Jesus Christ and to share His gospel with these people. I can't think of anything better.
