I am winding down on just weeks now, before I will be departing of my Full-time 24 month Misison for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, in the "Leon, Mexico Mission". And since I am going to be away from all social media the whole time I decided I wanted to start a blog for those who want to hear about my adventures and experiences while on my mission! I wont be doing it personally so I will be leaving all of this up to my family to be filling this in for everyone to see, since I will be writing them hand written letters or emails only.
(a little bit about me)
Its time for a new adventure in my life. It seems to me like I have been selfish for the past 5 yrs and not truely enjoying life as I should, I was that guy for a long time who travled alot and was out searching for the partys and the girls thinking that was the meaning of my life to just go out and do whatever I wanted. I'm sure it was because I was caught up in all the so-called reality tv and media, that puts out an example of people who are living that lifestyle making it seem like fun and thats the way life is suppose to be. But it wasn't until I almost hit rock bottom, when I finally realized I needed to change my lifestyle. I wasn't going anywhere with my life, I was stuck in a rut with school and my day to day jobs just weren't doing it for me. So one night about a year ago I got down and prayed for some answers hoping that our heavenly father hadn't forgotten about me. And one day soon after while I was visiting with my brother and his wife we got a knock at the door, from a man whom we had never met before, but knew he only met good; because he was a member of the same church that we grew up in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The message he brought to us that night changed my life for the best, made me realize there was alot more in life than the way I was living. That there is a plan set for us, and thats why we are here on this earth today in these latter-days, I always knew there was a purpose for me being here but I just forgot and I knew I needed to change for the better. And ever since than I have completely changed my way of life, my actions, my way of thinking and am very thankful for it. For which it has brought me to my decision to serve others and to go on a mission for my lord, my savior, my heavenly father!
-Not only that but I think its amazing and going to be such a blessing for my family to not only have me serving on a mission but my younger sister and brother will be serving one as well, my sister will be in the Albuquerque NM mission and one of my younger brothers will be serving his the exact same time as us in Vancouver Canada! =)
