So the countdown has begun. I leave for my mission in 9 days. Single digits. Wow. So I want to do something along the road to departure. Over the next week or so, I want to write about 9 things that led me to serve a mission.
EFY 2007. That year at EFY was insanity. Carolee was my roommate, and we did so many stupid things. Our poor counselor, Megan. Anyway, it was my last year as a participant. Despite being crazy about 90% of the time, there were serious and spiritual moments. I don't remember when exactly, but there was a moment where my future changed. I wanted so badly to serve a mission. It was something I'd wanted to do when I was younger, but then in high school I got sidetracked and it was no longer a priority. That day, it became a priority. I was not going to rule out relationships or anything in college, but I had such a strong desire to serve a mission that day. I decided then and there to start preparing for one, in case I got the opportunity to serve a mission. I didn't know what the future held, but I knew that more than anything in that moment, I wanted to serve a mission.
