Hello friendly readers of my blog!

Well, its been a few days, and I've been set apart as an official missionary! (for those of you who aren't familiar with that term, being "set apart" means that I had a blessing from the president of my stake and am now a missionary.

THe last few days have been filled with shopping for missionary clothes, traveling, and hugging a lot of relatives...

My grandmother's funeral was good- she will be missed, but she is with my Grandfather, and we are happy for them. The funeral was today, and after it was over, my parents, borther, sister, and I drove down to Utah, and thats where I am now.

Boy was it weird to cross that Utah State line and think that I woudnt be leaving again for another 18 months, but at the same time, I am really excited.

I can't even imagine how much my life will be changing in less than two days. Going out there to Salt Lake will answer a LOT of the questions I have been thinking of the last few months. Where I live, what I eat...all of it is a big mistery right now! Its exciting though.

Like I said in the last post, I'm going to the Missionary Training Center on Wednesday and I won't have internet access for 3 whole weeks, so don't be alarmed!

Hope all is well with everyone out there. If you want me to write, be sure to leave your addresses!

Last Day of work

Ok everyone,

So today was my last day at work! It feels like its a dream! I'm really leaving. There has been a slight change in plans, I was originally supposed to leave Oregon Friday morning, but my Grandmother passed away yesterday, so NOW my whole family is coming to Idaho with us.

JUST SO everyone knows, I'm going into the Missionary Training Center next Wednesday, and I won't have internet access for three weeks, so hold tight for my first post from Salt Lake, ok?!

I'll write some more before I go in, but right now its just kind of lame!

Thats all folks!

The beginning of a new beginning...
