16 Days...

Well...there are only 16 more days until I enter the MTC and become a full-time missionary for my Heavenly Father and for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints...oh the feels...This is one of the most stressful times in my life but I am so excited! I have all of my clothes, supplies, and everything else I need! Does that mean that I am ready to go? Absolutely not!! haha! I still have to get 2 shots, which I am doing tomorrow, and I have to pack up everything I own and put it in boxes where it will live for the next year and a half! I also have to pack my suitcases that I am taking with me. I think that's all I have left to do, but it feels like I have so much more than that! I feel like there are a million things left to do and no time to do them in! Oh! I have to write my farewell talk as well. That shouldn't be too difficult though...as soon as I figure out what I'm going to speak about. haha. Preparing for the mission has been the most spiritually uplifting thing I have ever done. But, I have felt Satan working on me the whole time. He is constantly trying to get me to fall away and he is working on my family as well. It is hard. But it is so worth it! This gospel is the greatest thing on this earth and it brings so much happiness! I cannot wait to teach the people of Washington Federal Way about the happiness they can have! I can't wait to see the changes in myself and in other people! Some of my returned missionary friends have said that the mission was "the hardest thing [they] ever loved." I truly feel like that is what it is going to be like. I cannot wait!!! 16 more days until the adventure begins! 16 more days until I devote my WHOLE life and ALL of my time to serving the Lord!!! ahhh!!!!! I seriously cannot wait!!!

Update...

So, it's been a while since I posted here...a lot has happened. Firstly, I got my mission call....I'm going to be serving in the Washington Federal Way Mission!!! Federal Way is south of Seattle....I'm so excited!!! Second...I got to go to the temple!! What an amazing experience!! I absolutely love the temple, and cannot wait to go again!! The temple is truly a place where the Lord resides. The spirit there is so special and cannot accurately be explained!! It is so amazing!!

I report to the MTC on December 18th....so I only have 3 weeks to go! What a crazy thought!! Only 3 weeks until I will be a full time missionary for the Lord!! So crazy!! But so exciting!!!


I'm almost ready...I have a few more things to get taken care of before I leave, but nothing too big. I am so excited I can't stand it!! This is going to be the best 18 months of my life! I know that it will be hard, but I am so ready for it. I can do anything if I just trust in my Heavenly Father!!!

Receiving My Call

Friday afternoon at about 4:30 I heard that familiar metal clank on the porch. "Not today." I told myself. "Don't get your hopes up." I said. I reminded myself with each step that it would come sooner or later. If today wasn't the day, maybe it would be tomorrow. I opened that bronze lid and my heart dropped...with exitement! I picked up the envelope that read, "Sister Breanne Keele" IT CAME!! IT WAS FINALLY HERE!! I went running into the house screaming and mom jumped out of the computer chair, threw her arms in the air, and started jumping up and down and screaming. Then I thought, "Oh man! No one is here this weekend!!" And so the wait begins...The wait to open my call to see where the Lord wants me to be for the next 18 months. The wait to start the most exciting time in my life thus far! And I could not be more excited!!
