hey guess what? I've decided I'm going on a mission! I turn 21 in September, so I've got till then to study study study and save save save.
when I finalized my decision I told a number of people. for some reason a part of me was waiting for someone to tell me "NO! Don't go! I can't live with you gone for a whole year and a half!!!" I got no such reaction. everyone was very supportive and glad about it. people at church keep telling me "well that's unless you get married first". I've been in that ward for a year with just abut no perspective marriage types. I really doubt that in a matter of 8 little months I'm going to meet mister right, and magically fall in love. I'm as single as can be, and as happy as can be. Also super excited and nervous.

That's so great Ali!! I'm so excited for you!
Awesome! There was a time in my life where I strongly considered going on a mission. Actually, I really wanted to and was moving forward with my plans to do so, but other promptings came, I moved to Utah (against my own will) and met my husband and was engaged 7 months later. So it's possible, but only if that's what the Lord has in store for you. I still wish I could've served a mission, but I'm grateful for the way my life as turned out. I wish you all the best!!
