I Think I'm Synching

I'm waiting for my iPod to sync with my computer and am looking for just about any excuse not to pack, so I think I'll write a little blog about what is going on in my life/mind lately.

First. I got my mission call! I have been called to serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in the New Hampshire Manchester area. I am incredibly excited.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with the Church, I'll explain a little. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is often referred to as the Mormon Church. Its members, often called Mormons. We are Christians, and many of us younger adults are given the opportunity to serve a mission to teach the Gospel to all those who are willing to listen. We do this because our religion is something we hold very dear to our hearts. It makes us happy, and we want others to be happy as well. Now, I am not saying that those who are not members of the church are unhappy. It's similar to finding a really good ice-cream flavor and wanting to share it with everyone, even though not everyone likes ice-cream. I get that.
I'm incredibly excited to be going to New Hampshire. I have always wanted to go to New England and cannot imagine a better reason to go. I am very aware of how cold it will be, but I'm willing to brave it, even though I tend to break out in hives when I get cold. That's how important this is to me. Now, I know all of you who have lived in cold climates are going to want to suggest what to do in order to stay warm. Please try to refrain from saying something like "get a good jacket," or anything about leggings, tights, long johns or thick socks or anything that I may have heard many times by now. If you have a good reference to an online store or actual store in Tallahassee or brand, I'm all ears.

Second. I'm flying out to L.A. tomorrow. One of my sisters is moving back to Florida, so I'm going to fly out there and drive back with her. I'm super excited. I love road trips. I just love traveling.

Third. My iPod is done synchronizing, so I'm going to go pack and then get some sleep.

I love you all, you're fantastic.
