packing status...

the boxes and the heart are getting heavier with every little bit of packing. this is a little bit harder than i thought...

all we ever do is say goodbye...

well, the mission is coming very quickly... the semester is closing, and the goodbyes have begun. very bittersweet. the packing is about to begin--i am on my way home :) i can't wait to see my family again!

love.

great lessons to be learned...

a very dear friend of mine, biz german, introduced me to this talk by elder f. enzio busche. it was given clear back in a 1996 byu devotional.

beautiful.

every time i listen to or read through this i get something so great out of it. in fact, it is partially where the name of my blog comes from! needless to say i love it.

give it a listen! (or two)


love.

i'm that mountain peak up high...

my friend stephanie thinks that missionaries should be allowed to listen to this song:

World's Greatest-R. Kelly

hahaha! discuss.

and so it begins...

hello all,

i intend this blog to be a log of my mission adventures. i suppose it all started when i decided to fill out my papers, but the following shows the opening of my mission call. don't mind my dorkiness...i was just really excited/nervous/on top of the world.


my call came october 29, 2009, and i report to the mtc on march 3, 2010. i feel so blessed to be going to chile and to have the opportunity to learn spanish. but much more importantly, i feel so blessed to have the opportunity to teach the Gospel. what a great and inexpressible blessing the knowledge of my Savior, and the unconditional love of my Heavenly Father has been in my life. i know that this Church is true and good. it makes me so exponentially happy--in fact, i have never been happier. thank you all for your love and support.

all my love,
janelle
