Well, with my days so very numbered I've been forced to be actually preparing to leave. (Also, I've been reading Harry Potter almost nonstop so if my writing's a little melodramatic that would be the reason.)
Haha there's not a whole lot to say. I guess, for anyone who is preparing for a mission or just wants to improve themselves generally, I just have a bit of advice.
The Lord knows what he's doing.
He knows you, and He knows where He needs you.
It doesn't matter if that's Auckland, New Zealand or Cleveland, Ohio.
Be there, where you need to be, with a pure desire to serve and love Him.
You'll be good.
