So Long, Farewell, Auf Wedersehen, Adieu to You & You & You

"If you feed your faith, your fear starves." --unknown

Well, many of you know that I'm about to leave you very soon, but don't be sad! I'm trying to keep myself together and I'm surprised by how calm & tranquil I've been. I'm going on my mission to Berlin! I fly out tommorrow and I report to the MTC on Wednesday. And I'm 90% packed!

For those who don't know what I mean, I'm serving a religious mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for 18 months; I'll basically travel all over the northern part of Germany and talk to people about my religion and serve them however I can. It's very exciting, but I'm well aware of wonderful things (and people...) that I'll be without for those 18 months.

So if you're slightly (or maybe not slightly) wondering why I'll be radio silent for so long, it's not because I have nothing to say, that's for sure! You can still follow me and my adventures by clicking on the cute German flag to your right! :)

Thank you all for your comments and for reading my venting or geek-out sessions. I'll be picking up where I left off as soon as I return, I promise!

Have an adventure everyday!

Deets on the Mission Address

Okay, so if you've been living under a rock, or don't have a Facebook (nuance, really) I'm serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in

BERLIN, GERMANY.


Yeah. Fan-flippin'-tastic, right??


Everybody's wanting the deets on the address so that they can write to me later (but seriously, I haven't left yet, so you can still talk to me. I'm talking to all those people who say that they'll write me but I haven't heard a thing from 'em since finals ended!)


But seriously, I have the addresses, so here they are! I'll also post it on my FB for those who are silly and haven't discovered this budding blog.

This is my MTC address! You'll probably need it from August-end of October-ish.

It floors me how supportive everyone is of my mission and I'm so grateful for my family & friends; I've been wanting to be a missionary for a long time and they're all there for me. I just hope I'll be a good missionary!
