Its getting closer!!

As Feb 5 gets closer and closer I am starting to get nervous, but at the same time I am getting excited I have stopped second guessing things because I know this is right! I love this gospel its done so much for me and my family I tried living with out it and it was not good I felt so so lost. I have it back now and my life is not perfect its hard but its so wonderful! I want to help others to find this wonderful gospel and to realize that this life is not everything. What we do in this life is very important but its not everything. I am so excited to be able to teach people about the gospel in Nicaragua. I know Heavenly Father has a super awesome plan for me and I am ready for it!! 16 days?! bring it on!!!

The day I got my mission call :) it was amazing! I got so excited I was shaking!! I didnt want to put it down or leave it anyway

My Wonderful Call Letter!

Dear Sister Udall:

You are hereby called to serve as a missionary of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. You are assigned to labor in the Nicaragua Managua South Mission. It is anticipated that you will serve for a period of 18 months.

You should report to the Mexico Missionary Training Center on Wednesday, February 5, 2014. You will prepare to preach the gospel in the Spanish Language. Your assignment may be modified according to the needs of the mission president.

You have been recommended as one worthy to represent the Lord as a minister of the restored gospel. You will be an official representative of the Church. As such, you will be expected to maintain the highest standards of conduct and appearance by keeping the commandments, living mission rules, and following the counsel of your mission president. As you devote your time and attention to serving the Lord, leaving behind all other personal affairs, the Lord will bless you with increased knowledge and testimony of the restoration and of the truths of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Your purpose will be to invite others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the resorted gospel through faith in Jesus Christ and His Atonement, repentance, baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end. As you serve with all your heart, might, and strength, the Lord will lead you to those who are prepared to be baptized.

The Lord will reward you for the goodness of your life. Greater blessings and more happiness that you have yet experienced await you as you humbly and prayerfully serve the Lord in this labor of love among His children. We place our confidence in you and pray that the Lord will help you become an effective missionary.

You will be set apart as a missionary by your stake president. Please send your written acceptance promptly, endorsed by your bishop.

                                                                           Sincerely,
                                                                           Thomas S. Monson
                                                                           President
