With the announcement of the new missionary age my thoughts started to change. I don't know if i will serve a mission in the next couple of years or if i will wait and serve with my spouse. But just do be sure I'm ready I've started to prepare now. As I've been thinking about what i want to do with my life after high school i found this talk by Elder Bednar. It was given in the priesthood session a couple year ago so it is directed to the priesthood but as a girl i found it useful also. In the talk he empathizes that we need to become a missionary rather than go on a mission. He says "...it is not enough for anyone just to go through the motions. The commandments, ordinances, and covenants of the gospel are not a list of deposits required to be made in some heavenly account. The gospel of Jesus Christ is a plan that shows us how to become what our Heavenly Father desires us to become" For now i don't know what the next couple of years hold for me. But i do know that i can start becoming a missionary now. For then if the time is right i will have already become a missionary.
"Everything in life happens for a reason. So when something doesn't go the way you would have planned or thought look for the door that is opening in front of you. Always look at life with a positive outlook because the minute you get down on yourself is when you can be deceived the most. live everything to the fullest and have as much fun as you possibly can and always remember your a daughter of god. " -McKinsey Veenker
