Called to Serve and Other Things!

SURPRISE!!!! I have been called to serve as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Bangkok, Thailand! I enter the Provo MTC on October, 16, 2013, and I cannot wait to go and serve the people of Thailand! Honestly, receiving my mission call was one of the most exciting things I have ever experienced. Waiting for that little envelope was excruciating, but it was most definitely worth the wait!

So I know it has been a while since I've last posted, but my world literally has just been turned upside down since I've decided to serve a mission. I have been working at the McKay School of Education's PR office for my internship, and it has been a great experience! This job is what takes up a majority of my time this summer, but I've stilled managed to make time for some fun :)
Roadtrippin' with my ladies to St. George
Crazy 4th of July festivities with this lovely lady!
Taylor Swift concert with my girls!
Trip to Jason's cabin in Idaho...ya lots of hiking #notahiker
Those are just a few of the things I've done this summer, and there is definitely more fun to be had during my last month here in Utah until I am gone for 18 months!! I'll be moving home at the end of August until I'm supposed to enter the MTC in October (exactly 1 week before my birthday)! Roadtrips, food, shopping, fun, and more has been planned for my last month here, and I am so grateful for all of my great friends who have made this last summer so amazing! Realistically, the majority of my friends won't be here when I return, which is pretty sad, but I'm glad we can at least have this last hurrah before I leave!

Peace and blessings :)
