I was called to serve as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to the Taiwan Taichung mission. This means that I have dedicated 18 months of my life to the Lord, by serving others and helping them come to know Christ. Next week I will literally be set apart for this purpose and that time will be consecrated as His. I am honored to have this calling, and excited for the opportunities that await me.
I know that we have a Father in Heaven who loves us and knows us. He has a plan for each of us, where we can find refuge and have joy. I want to tell others of this plan so that they can find the same joy and feel that same love from our Father.
In eight days I'll be on a plane to the Missionary Training Center, where I'll study the scriptures, prepare to teach, and learn Mandarin. Nine weeks later I'll be on my way to Taiwan. I couldn't be more excited to serve and teach and meet new people!
