As many of you know, I have chosen to serve an LDS mission for a year and a half. I have been assigned to serve in Manaus, Brazil!!! Yes... I am scared, nervous, and so excited. Oh, and did I mention NERVOUS??!! There are so many unknowns. I have never left the country, I don't know how to speak Portuguese yet, I don't know anyone there, I have to leave my family, etc. I could go on for a while. SO you may be wondering why the heck I am doing this? Well I can tell you one thing, if I didn't know that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints was the true church of God, then I would not be doing this. BUT I do know with all my heart that this church is true. I have read the Book of Mormon, studied, and prayed. I know that my Savior lives. I know that it is only through the gospel that we can find true happiness. I know I have to share this amazing gift, and I am so lucky I get to share it with the people of Brazil!!!
