It's time!

Oh my goodness, I leave for the MTC tomorrow. I will be set apart in the morning and then head down to Utah to enter the MTC where I start my training to become a full time missionary. At this moment I am so excited. I know this is what I am supposed to be doing right now and I am looking so forward to this next year and a half. It will be the best part of my life so far. When I woke up this morning it finally hit me that I was going to become a missionary in the next few days and I just got so excited. The nervousness I had before has mostly disappeared and I can't wait for this next stage of my life. Hurray! While I was giving my talk last Sunday I just got so excited to teach the gospel to those who wanted to know the truth and it hit me so strongly that I have been taught the truth and know the truth and I rejoice in the truth. It is so comforting to know the truth and to have faith in Christ. Believing and trusting in Him brings so much peace no matter what else is happening around us. It is such a good feeling. I know that God is aware of each of us and wants us to have faith in His son Jesus Christ and look to Him always and cast our burdens upon Him and put His yoke on us for it is light. We are blessed when we do. God is so good and so kind. I look forward to teaching the people in Germany about this gospel. Hurrah for Israel! Also I want to thank those of you who have been such good examples to me and have been such good friends and have supported me. It means so much to me. I am so grateful for what so many of you have done for me. Thank you and merry Christmas to you all! Here I go...
