6 years

6 years ago today I left home to go into the Missionary Training Center to prepare to teach the gospel to the Spanish speaking people of Fresno, California. I can't even believe I'm THAT old.  I had to like count and recount maybe too many times because I couldn't believe it has been that long and I'm that old.  I'd always wanted to go on a mission but it turned out that going was harder than I thought it would be.  Now my baby sister is in there preparing to go to St. Louis.  I was in there for 9 weeks, she'll be in there for 12 days....
It made me want to reminisce a little bit though.  Even though it was hard, I loved the MTC and I LOVED my mission.

My cute MTC companions

I broke my foot playing in an outdoor volleyball tournament  the weekend before I went in to the MTC so yes, I wore a boot most of my time there.  

All the sisters in our zone.  I can't imagine how different it must be now. 

My district. 

I kind of miss it.  I'm a little bit envious of little Emmy. 

But...

I never thought I would go on another one to Sweden. 

 And so soon.
