Well for the last few months I have been working like crazy trying to tie up all my loose ends and save some up before I leave. Trouble was-I still didnt know when I was leaving-or to where. As many who have gone before me know, it is a process that can span over several months. Well mine was spanning alright--- for what seemed like forever! Some days were more discouraging then others thinking, goodness is this ever going to get done!? well luckily I pulled through it and it has been well worth the wait.
I recieved my call on a friday night, which just so happened to be the night my entire family left to san diego for the holiday weekend. I was at work all day and when I walked in the house it was there sitting on the counter.
i think my heart skipped a few beats as I realized what it contained---the next 18 months of my life!I ran around the house wanting to rip it open, but alas, no one was here to be excited with me :(
I had previously decided I wanted to find out with my family and I then decided that I would either have to wait til tuesday to open it, or go down to san diego. Well after all the waiting & waiting AND Waiting, I could not wait 4 more days so I ended up driving down to san diego (with one of my favoritest people in the world:) and I was able to experience the excitement with them all. IT was Wonderful and i am so glad i went down there. As I began to read, my emotions were overflowing with gratitude and happiness & my sister (who is awesome) finished reading the letter for me. Sister Stephanie rose Martinez, it read, you have been called to labor in the Fort Lauderdale Florida mission in the Spanish language for 18 months. (O M G!) You will report to the MTC in provo, Utah on wednesday November 12th, 2008.
wow. no,more like WOWW!
It is amazing to know where you need to be and what you need to be doing at any given time, Especially since most people have no idea what they're doing ever! But I am happy to know that I have been called to serve at this time because it is what I need to do, want to do, and will be oh so happy to do for this next year and a half.
The green circled part is roughly my area. the south eastern coast and southern parts of florida. It sure is going to be a journey. I have never been to florida, I have never even been on a plane! well, first time for everything :) I am excited to be in Utah for the Winter, especially for Christmas! I am going to miss my family & friends an infinate amount, but I know this will bring us closer together as a family.
I am now able to plan out my next 2 months & 10 days because I finally have the date! I anticipate working til the end of october and then having a few weeks to spend with all the people I love most (& there are lots of em!)
I am also excited to go up to Utah at the beginning of October for Conference & to visit a few wonderful friends :) only a month til then-its gonna be great :)
My life is amazing. I would have never seen myself where I am right now only a few short years ago, but I am so grateful to be here. The Lord has blessed me an immeasurable amount and I only hope to repay Him in some small token by this work I have placed ahead of me.
As for the rest of my days, they have been broken up into work, sleep, friends & family & i am sure will continue on this way until I leave. I have learned so much and myself & this life & I am excited to learn & to be able to teach so much more :)
wish me luck!
:)
