Today is the day! I’m gonna be gone for two years and I
guess it’s a bittersweet moment. I am excited and happy to be going off to do
what I have always wanted to do, serve a mission! But I am also sad because I
know the big guy like me is actually a teddy bear and he is sad to be leaving
his friends and family all in one day. I know I have not prepared the best I
could have because I realized I’m not the smart teenager I suppose myself to
be, but I hope that in due time the Lord will be able to put me to work. I pray
that as I go out to serve the people of Argentina, I can be as the potter’s
clay and be molded into the kind of missionary and young man Heavenly Father
wants me to be. I hope my flight is a safe flight and that I’ll be able to get
there safely and on time. I was reading in 1 Nephi chapter 3 verse 7 and I know
that as I go out, I still have a semi worldly outlook on me leaving but I hope
soon I can be as Nephi said and “I will go and do the things the Lord commands
save he should prepare a way” I know all things are possible through Him and
that I will be on my way to becoming the son of our Heavenly Father he wants me
to be. I know the journey is tough and long but it could be considered my
“crucible”. I will go through the refiner’s fire and all my impurities will be
taken out as I perform the Lord’s work. I love you all and will work hard. I
hope that soon I will get lost in the work and do all I can to bring to pass
the immortality and eternal life of man. I love you all and I will see you in 2
years.
