"There will be a few times in your life when all your instincts will tell you to do something that defies logic, upsets your plans, and may seem crazy to others. When that happens, you do it. Listen to your instincts and ignore everything else. Ignore logic, ignore the odds, ignore the complications, and just go for it." -Judith McNaught STORY OF MY LIFE!!

My mission call
So, on Saturday, May 16th, I got my big white envelope in the mail. After waiting half the day so I could reach everyone on the phone, I FINALLY got to open it. And to what to my wondering eyes appeared? Anaheim, Ca mission, Spanish speaking. That's right, I'm going back to my old "hood." I definitely had mixed feelings initially, as I'm sure lots do...I was confused because that's where I grew up (i thought it was a joke initially, because my sister and I had been joking that I would go there). I was excited, too...SPANISH SPEAKING...I wanted to learn a "new" language and that would be SOOOO valuable for the rest of my life. There is a reason that I'm needed wherever I end up and I will serve happily. I guess my face was priceless when I actually realized where I was going...I'll have video soon, thanks to my friend Courtney. I'll post pictures soon, also. So Jocelyn, you win! You're prize...I'll stay with your kids while you go on your cruise.
