My last day

Today has been an emotional Roller coaster for me, ups and down, but even the downs were still up. I become a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints tonight around 8:15. I'm very excited. I said goodbye to Jenna today. It was the hardest i've cried in a very long time. It was probably the hardest/best breakup in existence. Well, this is going to be my last blog post for the next 2 years, my family will be posting my letters onto my blog so keep watch to see how i'm doing. And if you feel like writing me my MTC address is below, and I'm sure they'll put my Mexico Address there too. Goodbye everyone!! I love you all!!

Times a comin

Well, time is coming very fast. I officially have 19 days until I turn 20, and 48 days until I leave :) i'm so very excited. It seems strange that I'm leaving so soon, but at the same time it feels like it's not coming soon enough. I still have so much to do; Get money, Finish shopping, Visit Washington, Visit Rexburg. Too much for only 48 days. I think I can manage though

Pictures of Cuernavaca. Be Jealous

¡México!


Cuernavaca, or as the natives like to call it the "City of Eternal Spring" is located just 53 miles south of Mexico City. It's approximately 3200 years old and apparently was the Aztec's summer homes. I am very excited about this, because I was scared that I was going to be going to a super hot, humid place. But apparently Cuernavaca has a warm stable climate, and abundant vegetation. My mission spans from Cuernavaca, to Acapulco, which as most of you should know, is hot hot hot! and a big place for movie starts, because it's got nice beaches.

The ancient name of Cuernavaca is "Cuauhnahuac" in Nahuatl which means "Place near or by the side of the groove". Founded seven centuries ago almost a mile high in the Sierra Madre Mountains.
Until 1910, this state was the third major sugar cane producer world wide, after Hawaii and Puerto Rico, but peasants slaved without hope on the enormous sugar cane haciendas. When the Mexican Revolution began, most haciendas were burned to the ground.
For many years, Cuernavaca has been known as a resort where both Mexicans and foreigners come to enjoy the clean air, relax and enjoy the incomparable climate.

Called to Serve: The Beginning

So I've never blogged before so here goes. On March 17, 2010 I got my Mission Call to the Mexico Cuernavaca Mission!! I leave July 21 to the MTC, I am very excited. This blog will be an update when I leave, and when i'm bored for the next 2 1/2 months. Enjoy!
