Ladies & Gents, Start your guessing

MY PAPERS ARE OFFICIALLY SENT IN!!!! I had my Stake President interview last Sunday! Overall it was a good interview but he sure did kick me in the butt about a few things. He told me to do my visiting teaching and study the scriptures for an hour everyday. He told me to bare my testimony every chance I get (even in my prayers). He also encouraged me to teach Family Night lessons. I'm not sure how well that'll go. Compared to the way my parents teach I don't think I'll do a very good job. He reminded me how important it is to get along with everybody and to get outside my comfort zone. So yeah! Dads having a hard time with it all (isn't my dad the cutest!). Moms excited and can't stop buying missionary clothes haha! I'm real excited to serve the lord for 18 months! I can't wait to get out there and share my testimony with those who've forgotten theirs. I love this gospel so much! I know Heavenly Father loved his children so much that he sent his son, Jesus Christ, to be a perfect example and to die for us so that we may be able to repent and be forgiven. I know Joseph Smith saw Heavenly Father & Jesus Christ in a vision. I know that he translated the Book of Mormon and re-organized the church through the power of Christ. I know without a doubt that the Book of Mormon is true and that this church is the only true church on the earth today. I love my family and my friends and for all the love and support they give me. I know that if we are obedient to the laws and commandments of the church we will live with our Father in Heaven again. I know that our Father lives and I'm so grateful for this knowledge. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen
