Well... I leave exactly 2 months from today. I report to the MTC in Provo on September 28th. I am so nervous, and unprepared but I'm putting my SHOULDER TO THE WHEEL! I am going to own this mission. I'm going to totally work it. :) The tagolog language....yeah it's got NOTHIN on me :)
(Who am I kidding? I am so terrified. Power of positive thinking right?)
So I still have like $3,000.00 to earn for my mission and I am stressing out a little but it will all work out and the Lord will provide. (If you'd like to make a small (or big) contribution ha... send your checks to......... I'm totally kidding guys. But if you have a charitable rich relative, let me know, I'll give you my address. ;)But seriously.
Here is a very miniature list of a few seriously ridiculous things I am scared of on my mission.
-Eating rice 3 times a day and coming back 50 pounds heavier with rice cheeks.
-Completely freezing up and not knowing how to communicate in the language.
-Sweating my guts out (it's 90-100% humidity ALL YEAR ROUND).
-MASSIVE bugs.
-A companion who has a chronic gas problem. (ha...I told you it was ridiculous)
-Not getting any mail. ha.
-Running out of tampons and deodorant (they say to bring enough to last 18 months...crazy right?)
Alright so there you have it. I have some silly fears. But... I assure you I am working on overcoming some of those ha.
I have adopted a life motto. We have no excuse to not be happy. Despite how hard or ridiculous it seems sometimes, it can always be worse. Happiness is simple! It's all around us! The people we know, the knowledge we have, the earth is full of beautiful creations that were made with our happiness in mind. :) It makes me happy.
