To go on a mission you need to be a certain weight for your height. I am five feet eleven and a half inches. I'm not going to write the weight but I found out about a month ago (?) that I was too over wight to serve a mission. That I need to lose weight. At first this was devastating! I had a plan and it now had been changed. I planed to send my paper to Salt Lake on the 23 of November. I've had a count down from the "150 days till" And for this to happen hurt so much. I was so mad. Why? Why me? I was trying to make the right choice and I felt like I was being pushed down. There is a reason the weight limit is the way it is but it's posted no where. I'm glad to get that off my chest.I started to work out and eat better. I still feel held back. I try everyday to make the best decision. It's hard and sometimes I feel like the world is agsisnt me. But I have amazing people in my life who are helping me reach this goal.
For while I wasn't sure if a mission is what I should do. But once you ask God to help you, to get down on your knees and pray and to search the scriptures, he will give you the answer! I had so many questions after that. Do I even serve? Should I stay home and go to school? Is that as far as I needed to go? What do I need to do? After reading the scriptures I felt that any choice was a good one. That anyone of them would make me happy. For graduation my mom got me the book called "Oh, The Places You'll Go" By Dr. Seuss. She added a little something to every line in the book. When reading this I truly realized that any one i picked would be a good one. But the best one would be a mission.
My goal is to have my papers done by March 21 2014.
