I have been called to serve in the Peru Trujillo Mission. Can I just say I am having mixed emotions about where I am going. LOL! I am super excited that I am getting called to serve in Peru, but at the same time I am terrified!
When I initially turned my papers in I, like most soon to be missionaries, said to myself where ever the Lord calls me, that is where I will go. Then when my mission papers got "postponed" I told myself, well the states wouldn't be too bad. I mean there's indoor plumbing, fast food chains, packages will arrive with their full contents in store, etc...The states is where I am most comfortable. So when my little brother started to read the letter that was sent to me, I secretly within my mind was wishing it would read Portland, Oregon. Oakland, California. Salt Lake City, Utah. Somewhere where I have family and know that while I am in the Lord's hands I'm also surrounded by family who's hands will take care of me too. So when my brother read Peru, my eyes almost popped out of its sockets. I thought he was playing around with me before he read my real mission call! While at first I was dumbstruck and kept repeating Peru over and over again in my mind and out loud I started to get scared. I know this is just prejitter feelings and as I prepare faithfully and with vigor for my journey ahead, I'll be comforted-at least I hope so.
-Well til next time blog world-
