5 days and counting!

So as you can tell from the title I have five days left here in this great Ohio.

As you can tell I am kinda just freaking out over it now. It is gonna be such a nice change!

Things have been kinda crazy lately.

I have been slowly but surely packing up my entire life. Dealing with some stuff in between. But as the countdown gets so much closer I am so much more excited. I am basically all packed. I mean I have to pack little stuff. I have to pack my carryon with my laptop and everything. Gosh it is an exciting time at the moment.

I mean other then leaving something aka someone behind for awhile really sucking I am pretty okay. It is only for five months. If it is meant to be then it will meant to be and that is what I have to constantly keep telling myself. I know for a fact that Heavenly Father has a plan for me. I don't want it to end but I mean if it ends then it ends and I tried. That's all I am doing.

So much can change in the next five months. I won't lie to you say how I am so confident that things are gonna stay the same this semester. I am scared beyond all heck that things are just gonna change before I even get my chance. But I have hope and faith that they might work out in my favor.

I wish to say that I am just gonna have a relaxing five days. I work tomorrow and Friday and then Saturday I am going to be all over the place. Sunday I am going to just be relaxing and spending time with my family before I head off to the great state of Idaho.

I cannot wait for this new adventure. I had a meeting with my bishop tonight and honestly it went so much better then I thought. First of all I got my temple recommend renewed which makes me want to go to the temple ASAP. But I mean I am going to be living right across the street from it so. I am actually super excited to be around more Mormons. Like I don't mean to be like okay well I just hate everyone who isn't a Mormon. Okay no I love all my friends no matter what religion you are. I am just excited to be around so many people who have the same standards as me. My bishop was also like "You stay away from all boys. Especially those return missionaries." I kinda about died laughing at the comment but okay Bishop.

OH LIKE A PROPHET IS COMING TO CAMPUS. PRESIDENT UCHTDORF WILL BE ON CAMPUS. I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO SEE HIM TALK. I GOT LUCKY SEEING A MEMBER OF THE 12 SPEAK IN OHIO AND NOW LIKE ONE OF THE THREE IS COMING TO SPEAK ON CAMPUS. LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL.

I am so proud to be a member of this church. It has brought me so many blessings. I got to see one of my favorite return missionaries tonight and it was just magical. I haven't seen her in almost a year. She was the reason why I came back to the church. Without her I would not have been reactivated. Heavenly Father puts people in your life for a reason. There is a reason why things didn't work out before and maybe they are going to work out now.

I would not have the testimony I have without her. And for whoever reads this that's a member I am not saying that I base my testimony off of her. I wish you would've known me so long ago. I basically didn't have a testimony.

Now?

I am going off to BYU-Idaho. I would've never been like I am going to go to some church school. Especially over 1000 miles away. Who the heck does that? Oh wait. Meeeee.  I know that the church is true. I have never believed in so much in my life until recently. Two years ago, I never would've never thought of coming to church. I would've never thought of being like oh well I am going to serve a mission. I just thought missionaries were hot and that's the only reason why I wanted them over hahaha(true story). Missionaries are basically my best friend. I am so thankful for the opportunities to come into contact with some of the Lord's finest servants. I am grateful for the testimony that they have helped me build. The church is so true. The Book of Mormon will do wonders for you. It saved my life that's for sure. That is what this gospel does. It brings souls unto Chirst and it is amazing.

I am excited and maybe just a tad freaked out that this is all happening so soon? Haha I mean if you know me I have been like okay we are at this many days until BYUI so far away ugh. Now it is like okay we are at single digits and I leave Monday at 8 am. Oh okay!

The world is such an exciting and intriguing place. I am very much excited to take on this new adventure in my life. I get to meet so many new people. I get to be around people who have the same standards of me and believe in the same things I do. It's such an amazing life that has been given to us so why not take advantage of it and live it while we can.

5 days.
