It certainly has been too long since I posted last but this promises to be an interesting one, at least for me. This last Wednesday I received my mission call. I had been hoping it would come on Wednesday so I could open it with everyone in my family on Thanksgiving but I wasn't about to let myself hope it would actually come...but it did!
That evening I opened it with my family and to my shock and utter delight I have been called to serve in the Peru Lima Central Mission. I leave March 21st and will train in the MTC for 3 weeks then I will go to the Peru MTC for the final 6 weeks of my training. I am very excited to have the opportunity not only to serve but too preach the Gospel in Spanish.
Ever since I was a little boy (i know that is hard to imagine now that I am 6'7" but I really was little once) I have wanted and felt that I would serve in Latin America. Granted Peru NEVER even crossed my mind but I have felt an affinity to that area of the world.
So the moral of the story? Serve a mission. The preparation alone will change your life, and there is nothing that i have experienced that is more exciting than the thought of serving in a foreign country for two years. I am excited, if you boys (and those special girls) aren't excited yet, start now. You wont regret it!!
