Serving a Mission!

So I know that a while ago I posted a post about my friends going on a mission and me not going. Well I haven't been able to stop thinking about going and I felt so uneasy about staying here and not serving a mission. So I started praying about the decision to serve a mission and I have never felt so much peace, happiness, and surety in my life. I know that going on a mission is the right decision for me. So I am acting on the feeling and i am going to serve a mission. I started my papers at the first of this week. I put my availability date as June 1st, so we will be seeing where I will be going and when! (hopefully soon) I am so so so excited to serve a mission! It is going to be the best experience! :)

Running!

I have developed a passion for running! I LOVE it! It relieves my stress, helps with anxiety, and keeps me healthy! I was reading a fitness magazine the other day and on one of the pages it told a story about a lady who ran 1,000 miles in one year. I have decided that I am going to do just that.

I am going to run 1,000 miles in one year.

In fact I started this morning and knocked 6 miles off. So now I only have 994 more to go. It averages out to be about 2.8 miles a day which isn't bad at all!

Mission?

So it seems like all of my friends are going on missions! And by all I mean three, I am a little bit of an over-exaggerator. It has made me a little jealous and put the thought into my head, once again, that maybe I do want to/am suppose to go on a mission. But I already prayed about it and my answer was no, and that I need to stay here and finish school. However I am so happy for...

I am going to miss these girls like crazy! They are all going to be amazing missionaries and are all going exactly where the lord needs them!
