In the MTC!

Heidi arrived into the MTC on Wednesday. The whole family went together. It was fun to see all of the Missionaries arriving. "It's like Disneyland!" we all said. All the men in orange traffic directing vests. We drove to our spot at the curb, gave our last hugs and off she went. She looked so excited and ready to go. We got back in the car and drove past her. We waved and said goodbye again to no avail. She didn't even look. She was fully into the experience. That's just what we had hoped for...her to be so happy to be there. No word from her just yet.

I'll be seeing you!

Today is my last day as an ordinary person. Tonight at 8:30 I will be set apart as a missionary of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Although I have had trouble sleeping I have been relatively calm and positive about leaving my home for a year and a half. I am so excited to be able to serve the Lord and give him a small moment of my life. I am so blessed to have the support that I do have. Freinds and Family have been incredible to me during this time in my life and I dont think I could have done it without them. I want to take a second to tell my family how much I love them. I do not do it enough. They have been there for me through every second of my life and I would not have survived all the trials and hard moments if I had not had two wonderful parents who directed me to look to the Lord and lean on the gospel, never judging me for my mistakes or sillyness. My brothers are my best friends. They are incredible men and I am very lucky to have them to look up to. And dear little Hana, my shadow. I love her so much. I will miss her sleeping with me every night without fail, and the arguments over who gets which celebrity boyfriend. The last battle we had was who gets Jack Dawson from Titanic and who gets Leonardo DiCaprio him self. Oh heavens. Needless to say I will miss my whole family but I know that they would not want me anywhere else than serving in God's Army in Argentina. It has not hit me yet that I will be in another country. I suppose there really is no way to be able to prepare for something so unknown but I know that I will be alright. The Lord wants me here and I will be succesfull if I stay obedient and positive. I am excited for all the things I will report back to all of you, all the people I will meet, the ....wonderful....food that I will be eating, the mtc that some say feel like an EFY/prison. :) Thank you ahead of time for the support from everyone. It helps so so so so so so much to get that letter that says you are in the right place serve the lord with no regrets! I will do my best, work my hardest and do all I can to make the most of all the love and support given me. See all of you soon. 19 months is gonna fly!
