The four months leading up to my entering the MTC were the hardest I'd ever experienced before. For those of you who also have to wait a bit before heading out, buckle up. You're preparing for the greatest calling in life (and I mean that literally) and Satan knows it. He is going to do everything he can to deter you from your service. And I will explain why at some point in the future. I'm actually creating a website with the same title as this blog that goes into more detail about what you can expect on yalls missions. Feel free to check it out. You might even like that one more than you like this one. It's still a work in progress and will likely take several months before I've completed even just the bare essentials, but it has a lot more resources for you all:

The entire time I waited was extremely difficult. Life just seemed hard, despite all the blessings and miracles that were being poured onto me. I honestly don't remember much from it. But I can tell yall that if you don't stay close to the Gospel, studying your scriptures, praying always, and regularly attending the temple, it's going to get hard. I hadn't developed a regular habit of scripture study or prayer before my mission and I think life was harder partially because of that. Just do what you know you need to do and everything will work out. The Lord will strengthen and enable you to withstand the adversary and his attempts to subdue you. You will make it on your missions and it will change you. Trust me.
