Well I thought I would start the blog
with how it all started- and how I decided I wanted and needed to go
on my mission. So here we go. I have kind of known since I got my
patriarchal blessing. When I was 16 it talks about how I will be able
to testify boldly and this will help make others come to the truth. But, I
thought I knew better and that wasn't something I was going to be
doing but it caught up to me. Last summer I started to have the
feeling that I really needed to start not just reading my scriptures,
but to study them- so I did. A little while after that I started to
get the feeling that I needed to go but I didn't want to pay
attention to these prompting because it wasn't something that I had
planned. But the Lord knows how to talk to his children and the night
that I went to the Relief Society meeting I knew I was going. I was
staring at the wall and looking at the light fixtures when I heard A
voice in my head that said it was time to go on a mission so I better
get on board. The next day was fast Sunday and I fasted to know
whether or not that was the right thing. The second I woke up I knew
that I was going. There wasn't a doubt in my mind that I was going to
go. Later that day I told my family that I was going and they were
all very excited. It's funny to think that one minute you can think
you have it all figured out and the next you are doing something you
never thought you would be doing. I am very excited to go and I can't
wait to share all my experiences with you!
Love,
(soon to be) Sister Denning
