It's go time!

I'm going to the ECUADOR, GUAYAQUIL WEST MISSION, like what? I couldn't be more excited! its crunch time now though. I report in less than 72 days and have a huge list of things to do. I will never feel prepared but I might as well try, right?

I took Spanish in high school, but its also been a year since then, and even if it hadn't I cant really do more than say "Hi, my names Megan. I like dogs." (I'm exaggerating... but still. I'm freaking out!)

As scared as I am, I couldn't be more excited.  I know this is where the Lord needs me and I cant wait to serve the people of Ecuador for the next year and a half of my life.

If you wanna watch me open my mission call, here is a little video that I made. Enjoy!

Where in the WORLD am I going?

Still no mission call, but we are getting real excited! (Except for Mom... Mom is just getting nervous, haha)

I can't wait for the news, Colorado? Thailand? Iowa? Spain? I JUST WANNA KNOW.

I am beyond excited, no matter where I go, to serve the Lord as a missionary. Though every experience varies in language, culture, population, and food they all have one thing in common... The message to be taught. I love my Father in Heaven, I know Christ died for us and atoned for our sins, I know that God blesses us with prophets both in biblical times and in modern day. I know that Joseph Smith was a true prophet and restored Christ's church. The Book of Mormon is true, as well as the bible. President Monson is a man of God and the Prophet of our church today. This is the message I am called to share.

......AND I CANT WAIT! 

But for now..... "I hope they call me on a mission..."

Waiting on a Call

Hello :)

As most of you know I am going to be serving as a full-time missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints! (If you didn't know that...well... SURPRISE! haha) 

I will be living away from my friends and family for a year and a half where in the only contact I will have with them will be via email once a week and snail mail. Crazy right?

If I cant do all the new trendy things such as play on my iPad, watch TV, go to the movies, hang with friends, then what WILL I be doing you may ask? Well, in short, I will be helping others know God's love, teach of Christ and his doctrines, serve people, and anything else I am called to do.

Your next question is probably where am I going? And you know what, I wish I knew! Luckily, I will be finding out any day now. Iowa? Alaska? New York? Idaho? Germany? Russia? France? Mexico? The list is endless.

For 18 months I will be somewhere else in the WORLD.. speaking English? Spanish? Khmer? Russian? ... I have no idea. All I do know is that it is exactly what I need to be doing with my life at this time.

My mind is going crazy trying to guess where I will be spending the next years of my life. I am scared outta my mind but I know that wherever I go I will be blessed. I know that God will protect me and my friends/family while I am away. I know this gospel is true and I cant wait to help it bless others as much as it has blessed me.

Wish me luck! Please keep me in your prayers these next few days as I wait for my call. I might just go crazy with all the anticipation! Seeya next time folks.

"If I could write a letter"

If I could write a letter
I'd know just where to send
I'd send it straight to heaven
where beginnings know no end

Where time and love are endless,
Where sin and shame are gone
Time, I've spent there once before-
bringing comfort with the dawn

The letter would be simple-
tho' I've so much to say
I'd thank my Lord and Savior,
for the price He had to pay

I have no way to thank thee,
for blessings big and small
I know I'm far from perfect,
but I know you can heal all

There are some who cannot see,
the love this gospel gives
So I must serve my Father
to show them that "Christ lives"

I know this is my purpose
I know God's on my side
I know I will face sorrow
I know I will face pride

This will be my letters end,
To God above I pray
for safety and for blessings
and to lead me on my way

Dear God above I love thee,
and am grateful for thy Son
I end this letter in His name
for my work has just begun
