Hello world!
I thought it would be best to just create a Blog where my weekly emails can be posted.
I’d like to start this blog with a post about how I got to this point. I’ve shared my story many times and I plan to share it as many times as I can.
On January 5th 2019 I sat in the basement of one of my best friends house. In that moment I hit a low point of my life and I honestly didn’t know what my future held. My best friend looked to me and asked if I wanted a father’s blessing. At first I said no and that no was so loud in my head that the second time she asked I nodded yes. A few minutes later I sat in her living room with her parents. Her father placed his hands on my head and gave me a blessing that forever changed my life. I was told a lot of things in that blessing. Some of which I’ll only ever share with people extremely close to me. What mattered most was that Heavenly Father prompted me to go on a mission. At the age of 24 I was more than a bit shocked by this news. In a matter of one day my whole life changed.
The next four months leading up to receiving my mission call were not easy. They challenged me to my breaking points more than once and I am forever grateful for the love and support of so many people around me.
When I received my call to Reno Nevada I was heart broken. Of all the places on this amazing earth I was being sent only 7 hours from my house. With the amount of traveling I’ve done this was hard for me to accept. 2 days later I was at my Bishop’s house prepared to tell him to send the call back and have them send me somewhere else. That wasn’t the case. I received another blessing that gave me reassurance that Reno is where I am to serve. Heavenly Father also let me know that he needs me to be focused. Going somewhere foreign it would be hard to do so.
So here I am, 20 days from leaving everyone and everything I’ve known for so long to serve the lord for 18 months. I cannot wait for all that Heavenly Father has promised me with serving a mission. This time will go by so fast as time for me always does. I hope you’ll enjoy joining me for this adventure. ❤️
