I thought I'd address this question more thoroughly, seeing as the typical,
"So excited but so nervous!" answer isn't even the half of it...

"I've never been the kind to testify. I don't have the words his truth deserves.
It's a simple thing he asks: a worthy heart and willing hands.
He says if I'll make the choice, he'll help me find my voice.
He calls me to serve and I cannot fail Him; the one who has given me all that I have.
I place my trust in Him alone. He knows the yearnings of my soul.
Because he believes in me, I will go willingly.
How can I keep this gift to myself, when I can lift somebody else?
I am a witness of His miracles and His mercy.
I put my future in His hands, knowing He's made me all i am.
When I put my faith in him his truth begins to speak.
His power is real, it moves me until I will not be still."
Exactly.

Today, April 16th, marks one month before I will enter the England MTC.
ONE. MONTH.
...You mean yesterday wasn't December 22nd?...
My main concerns:
The food.
London is a "melting pot".. Meaning every day won't just be good 'ol fish 'n chips.
Keep in mind I don't even like fish or potatoes..
The being so far away from home with almost zero contact.
Preschool was a breeze. Got dropped off and never looked back.
Now I just have to reconnect with my inner 4 year old independence.
The "inviting people to come unto Christ".
I thought serving at game-point in an 8th grade volleyball game was pressured enough...
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE'S ETERNAL SALVATION HERE.
"Sometimes all you need is 20 seconds of insane courage... "
You know I'll be counting while boarding the plane.
The earlier mentioned song and this picture mean everything to me right now.
The expression on Christ's face, the way he cradles the child with such adoration, and the sense of love that pours through this painting touches me every time I look at it.
Someday, I want to once again be encircled in my Heavenly Father's arms like that.
I may not have the words His truth deserves, but he says that if I'll make the choice to serve,
He'll help me find my voice. Because He believes in me, I will go willingly.
His power is so real, it moves me until I cannot be still.
Always yours, Sister West.
