Hey y'all!

Last night it hit me how little time I have left. I daydream a lot, and a lot of the time, it's about home. But, when it comes right down to it, I don't want to leave! All I know is mission life and I'm going to have to go back to "normal life"... That doesn't sound too great. Logically it would: I could wear jeans again, go back to listening to my music instead of church music all the time, I could watch movies, date, work, go back to school. That sounds SO good... right? I mean.. it should, I think.
But... I like wearing a name tag, and wearing skirts (sometimes), and testifying 24/7, and not being distracted by movies/tv/music...  I'm so torn. But, I know it'll have to end. I used to be excited for it, actually! I used to REALLY look forward to going home to people who love me and wont slam the door in my face just because they hear crazy things about our Church... And who wont stare at me when I go to the grocery store... You know? But door slams and funny looks and even the mean words are ALL worth being a missionary for my Savior.

"For Behold,

 I am a disciple of Jesus Christ,

the Son of God.

I have been called of him

to declare his word

among his people,

that they may have

everlasting life"

And I'm a do it with all my "heart might mind and strength" and run till the end.
Ain't no stoppin this girl!!

Anyways, there's my little update/rant... :) Hope y'all have a blessed week!

much love,
sister nelson
