Called to Serve

Almost 12 years ago a resolute 8 year old girl made the decision to be just like her Aunt Kami and serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Today I am getting ready to serve in the exact same mission that she did all those years ago! I’ll be leaving to serve in the Frankfurt Germany Mission on August 27^th 2014 and words can hardly express my excitement. It is almost surreal that in 39 days I am going to report to the England Missionary Training Centre. I’ll be spending 2 weeks in the MTC where I’ll be learning the lessons with all the native German Speakers… (wish me luck!) But growing up in a bilingual (German/English) home will hopefully help me pick the grammar and phrases quickly. Although I am having a lot of fun planning all the small logistics: passport, materials, clothes ;) I love the way that I am truly learning about the foundation of the Gospel. I am finding out that the best way to learn is to teach as I immerse myself in the scriptures and handbooks; I am preparing, not only physically but spiritually to enter the Mission Field and be the best missionary that I can be.
