Puzzle Piece: FIT.

I am so embarrassed.

How long has it been?

Two months?

I used to be a blogging addict...
Then life got busy.

And can I tell you...

THESE HAVE BEEN TWO OF THE BIGGEST MONTHS OF MY LIFE.

I left my blog on the night President Monson announced that young women can serve missions at
AGE NINETEEN.

I received my call November 20, 2012.


There is no feeling like holding that envelope in your hand.
I honestly had no inclination as to where the Lord needed me.
I had a party at my house...
Its safe to say there were a few people.

After shaking hands and an emotional opening...

Dear Sister Brown,

You are hereby called to serve as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
You are assigned to labor in the MALAGA SPAIN MISSION.
Spanish Speaking.
I leave March 20, 2013.


I am so grateful for this opportunity.
I know without a doubt, this is what I am supposed to be doing.
How badly does the Lord need missionaries that he lowered the age?

And SPAIN?
WHAT?

Internally, all I wanted from Europe with a language.
That's all.
Not too much to ask for right?
I got exactly that.

It is perfect for me.
The more and more I research it,
the more I see all the pieces falling into place.
I'll do another post going into depth on my mishhhhh.
But for now, that will do.

I cannot wait to serve!

ALSO...

Pretty sure my blog is famous for sappy love posts.
Lessssbi-honest...
(Favorite Pitch Perfect Line!)

I am a hopeless romantic.
I love love and everything that comes with it.
I have lived my whole life knowing I have the capacity to love more than anyone has ever loved anyone.
And now... I found him.

Truly.

I truly believe that Heavenly Father made him for me.
I can't even explain it.
He knows me better than I know myself.
He understands me before I even open my mouth.
He is everything I have ever wanted.
He's it.
I know it.

And guess what?
 We get to serve our missions at the same time!

Puzzle peice: FIT.






It makes sense why the church has constantly remind the youth to not be in a serious relationship before your mission.
I don't know how I am going to leave.
Almost every other night, I have a serious breakdown.
How do you just get up and leave your other half?
Your better half?
How do you cope with the fact that you won't see your best friend for two and half years?
How are we going to do this?

I know how.

With my Savior help, we will make it.
Our love will live in our hearts even if we don't hear from each other for months at a time.
We have prayed for angels.
Angels to take care of us.
Of our relationship.
If I give my all, one-hundred percent, every ounce of my being
to the Lord for a year and a half, 
He will remind us of this love.
When we finally reunite, after our two and half year division,
everything will be the same.
I know it.
I believe.
I trust Him.

On a lighter note...

LIFE HAS BEEN AMAZING.


My best friend is home for the Holidays!


 Since I leave in March...
NO MORE SCHOOL FOR ME.
 This girl gets a two year break.
I could cry, I'm so happy!
In fact, I did!

All I do is prepare.
Prepare.
Prepare.
Prepare.


I volunteer at Make-A-Wish.
Yay for Princess Parties!




I make a good Snow White, wouldn't you say?




I get to spend every day with these lovely ladies.
 I love my friends.
I love my boyfriend.
I love the Lord.
And..

I LOVE MY LIFE.
