Ok, so I can't seem to record chronologically, so oh well. Deal with it. On Sunday I went to a friend's Homecoming and I wasn't even sure if it was the grandest of my ideas. I sat down by my lonesome self and started to panic. Sometimes, I really think my introverted friends are rubbing off on me. "Why am I here? What am I doing? This is crazy, I don't know ANYONE here!" Yeah, my anxiety attack dampened once the meeting started. He gave a very good talk. I don't like calling it talk because it was his experience and everything was from his heart. It's really amazing what missions can do to you! He was a shy person and now he is full of confidence, he's articulate, his countenance is just so different it's amazing! It was really fun to see the changes that took place...not huge differences, subtle, but enough for you to sense it.
Following that, I sped my way over to Daybreak to go to my sister's farewell. She was nervous, I'm sure, but she spoke well. I couldn't even tell that she had cut down her 7 page talk! Her farewell seemed to be a success! I will miss that padfoot a lot. Though I'm sure that both of us will love our missions, despite how intimidating it sounds...and is...haha! All I can say is..I can't wait to see what a mission does to help her with her introvertedness. It will be good for her. :D
Oh. Did I tell you? I hope I get my call tomorrow! XP

Good to see you on the blogging radar again. I didn't know you're just about to go on a mission! Congratulations.
I predict . . . ummm . . . Mongolia. Or maybe Moscow. Idaho, that is.
Seriously though, wherever you go, it will be a fabulous experience.
:D I had one cousin whose family lived in Florida, and he came up to BYU for a year of school before putting his papers in. Goes back home and imagine his surprise when he gets his mission call to Provo, UT. I always smile when I think about that.
lol! that is funny! I kind of care where I go...in the sense of I hope it's not so humid I can't breathe, but I am so up to biking and walking. I think I will be disappointed if I go to a mission where I need to drive. :( Takes all the fun and sweat out of it! But thanks!
