My Life

So what is new in the life of Amanda???

I leave for Provo June 2nd. I am so very excited and now I am getting somewhat nervous. I am not scared. I am just nervous. I just cannot believe that I am actually going to be leaving for a year and a half. If I am already nervous now, I wonder what it is going to be like when I say it is going to be tomorrow that I leave. I guess I get to experience that soon. Wish me skill as I go and serve the Lord. I leave in exactly 2 weeks today. I get to hop on a plane June 2 at 7:30 in the morning. I am going to have to wake up way early to actually GO to the airport. I believe that Grandma and Grandpa Ralph are going to pick me up from the Salt Lake City Airport at 10:30 and then they will drive me to the Missionary Training Center. I am not really looking forward to saying goodbye to everyone. I am really glad though that Mom got to take her final the day before I leave. This way, she will be able to take me to the airport and hug me goodbye. She better not cry too much. My bishop told me that I am going to get set apart as a missionary the monday before I leave. On May 30, I get to do my Farewell talk. It is a good topic and have so many ideas for it. It is kind of hard to organize it because I have so many ideas. I am at the MTC for about three weeks and then I am going to go to Kentucky and suffer the humidity right when I get there. Joy! I will still keep updating my blog through Bubba. I will send Emails to Bubba and then Bubba will post them on here for me. I went to the Mesa Temple about a month ago I think. It was such a beautiful experience. I loved having family come. Well, that is pretty much all for the mission for now. I really can't wait to start my experience. I heard nothing but good comes from it.
