So this is my first blog for my mission blog. I am hoping to update this every 2 weeks or so but for now I will just give some basic information about my mission so far.

I received my mission call at the end of April, the 2oth I think (for those of you who know me well, the fact that I cannot remember the exact day is not surprising), and was called to report to the MTC on September 14th, 2011. I will be serving in the Melbourne, Australia Mission for the next year and a half and, if all goes well, will be in the MTC for approximately 3 weeks as I am English speaking.

It's been a long and crazy summer and I am excited to be leaving in exactly 1 week :) I only have a few more small things left to do, but I cannot believe how fast the time has gone.

On another note, I am excited to see many of my friends who are currently in the MTC, including my former roommate DaNae, who apparently may be one of my hosts when I enter, which would be super cool :)

Goodbye to all for now, I will write on this blog as often as I can and will try to put pictures on here once in a while. I am told Melbourne is very pretty :)
