Jenni, Caitlynne

Hello everyone! It’s so weird to think that I’ve been a missionary for only three days when I’ve learned so much! It's most definitely been the most exciting journey so far, but also the most tiring.  I got set apart Sunday morning by my super awesome stake president, such a holy and exciting experience. I felt God's love for me and my family, and I know for sure that I'm doing what He wants me to do. For you missionaries who have already been set apart, you know what I'm talking about. Future missionaries- buckle up because your heart just can't prepare for the joy and love you will feel. Because it's the best. thing. ever.

Good morning everyone! I have been called to serve in the Oklahoma, Oklahoma City Mission. I start home MTC in two weeks from tomorrow. And let me tell ya I could not be more excited.  My entire life I have been looking forward to serving a mission, yet until only a couple days ago did I know what I wanted to talk about for my farewell.  A few days ago my Papa and I decided to go on a last minute drive to Denver. We had a few good long talks, gave a hitchhiker a ride and most of our food, and drove through the night. Running on just a few hours of sleep, we met my Grandpop in Denver, dropped off our vehicle to be shipped to Italy, and took the scenic route home, stopping by Saratoga, Wyoming.  The past couple of weeks have been full of lots of different feelings and emotions, mostly the excitement and anxiety of serving a mission, my family moving to another continent, and not knowing what I was going to talk about. Yet, in this tiny town, I had a sense of serenity and cl...
