I decided to start writing this blog because I will soon be going on a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I want my mom to put my letters home up here for everyone to read if they want, because I don't want to bother with a long email list or anything.
So here you go.
The title. There are 1051920 minutes in two years, which is roughly how long a mission lasts. And, that is pretty much the extent of my creativity :)
The mission. I was called to serve in the Mendoza, Argentina mission, and I report to the Missionary Training Center in Provo, Utah on June 15th, 2011. I'm STOKED.
Anyway, I will write in this at least once a week, on Sundays, until I enter the MTC, and then my mom will hopefully take over and post my emails.
I won't write a whole lot this time, but tonight was the Missionary Fireside and it was really nice to hear the thoughts and testimonies of other future missionaries who will leave sometime this summer. It is crazy to think that in just a short few months, I will be on the ground in Argentina, trying not to look like a green elder. I am thankful for the opportunity I have had to come out to school for a little while, but I am extremely excited to go for two years and try to help people come to know the same joy that I know through the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
The Church is true, the Gospel has been restored, and God loves his Children!
