it hit me

a few weeks ago i got mail from my mission president. in it, he included the web address to our mission's blog. i was pretty excited to check it out but i was so busy that i never had the time! tonight i finally had a chance to take a look at it.

as i scrolled through the page, scanned some entries, and looked at the pictures,

it hit me...

this is my mission.
im going to be there in a matter of months.
im actually going on a mission.
im gonna be like them.
i'll have to teach and work and love and so much more.
thats gonna be me.
wow.

it was a crazy feeling! i caught a glimpse of the mantle, the responsibility, the severity, the joy, and the experiences of the next 20 months of my life. and guess what that did?

it got me even MORE excited. :)

wanna see the blog? click here: HURRAH FOR ISRAEL

maybe some day in the very near future you guys will see a picture of me on the mission blog!!! :D how exciting would THAT be!? ;)

p.s. here's my mission president and his family: HOWELL HANDS
