Home Again

Well I realized that I only really update here when I'm at school which makes sense because it seems my mom is the only one who reads it and when I'm home, I tell her everything anyway. I figured though that as I prepare to go on a mission, I can record stuff here about the pre-mission and then later, have mom update with how my mission is going.

I feel like I also have repeated my plans a bazillion times to people so here is my official plan. I normally wouldn't go back to school until April but since I've got a job now (officially tomorrow) at an OPS preschool, I have to stay in town until May for their school year. Luckily, the girl who got me the job also happens to live with us and work at the same place, so the Lord has set me up very nicely to earn mission funds! I'm doing an online course on my off track and will probably sign up for a few in April so I can keep up with some school work and still be enrolled. Although I was an elementary education major, I will likely change that when I get back. My brother Jon will be home from his mission shortly before my brother Ben gets married so I will still be home to see all that in August. I'm very excited for the chance to go to the temple for Ben and Sarah's wedding. When I finally get my mission papers turned in, I will request to not leave until September 3rd, so I will have about 9 months home. When I leave, I will be gone for 18 months, serving the Lord wherever he needs me.

Plans do change and if I'm needed somewhere sooner, I could be leaving much earlier than anticipated. But for now, it's so nice to have my life figured out!
