Ok, in less than two weeks I will be at the MTC. Less than two weeks. Can I just say that I am getting SO nervous?! I've wanted to serve a mission for as long as I can remember and I know it is what I am supposed to do and Jacksonville, Florida is where I am supposed to be, but that doesn't mean I'm not scared out of my mind. A mission is a huge responsibility! I don't know if I can teach. I don't know if I can overcome my shyness enough to go up to strangers and become friends with them. I don't know if I can go 18 motnths without seeing my family and only talking to them four times. There are so many things I'm worried about. AHH! And I only have 13 days before this crazy adventure begins. Wow...
But again, I know this is what I'm supposed to be doing with my life right now. I know that if I follow all the rules and put my trust in the Lord, He will help and sustain me. Which is a dang good thing, because if He isn't by my side, there is NO way I'll be able to make it.
D&C 84:88 "For I will go before your face. I will be on your right hand and on your left, and my Spirit shall be in your hearts, and mine angles round about you, to bear you up."

Rachel, if there is one thing I know about you, it's that you are not shy! Not the kind of shy that keeps you from meeting people and making friends! You were born to be a missionary- you have such a contagious personality and enthusiasm for the gospel that people can't help but love! You are going to be so amazing!!! Can't wait to see you!!!!!!!!!!!
