Sister Golden Hair

So if I have learned anything from my blog, it is that I suck at updating things.
Big. Time. Suck.
At least we all found this out together, right?
Right, Chelsea.
Now that we have that all under control, I might as well update.

Last time I wrote, it was mid-March. It is May 1st. Ok, so let's get this party started.
March was a pretty good march. I got to go see my family in New York. Loved it. Ah, I love my siblings and adopted siblings! I miss them so much; they are probably happy to have me out of their hair, ha! Only kidding.

The rest of March was just pretty chill. Work and work went well. Apparently nothing too exciting happened cause I don't remember anything.

This last month was April. This one might be easier for me to handle.
April 1st had snow. Cruelest April Fool's joke ever played on EVERYONE. That was intense. Nothing really happened in my life. It has been just filled with work, honestly. On my mom's birthday, I had my whole work sing "Happy Birthday" to her. That was pretty exciting. Eh, I will have to think of more, ha.

My papers have been sent in to my bish! That was pretty exciting to have that all finished. They really were not hard to fill out at all. Everyone makes them sound so long and hard to do, but really, they were a breeze, like the breezes you are supposed to get from April, (Only kidding, Mother Earth. You brought some nice weather to us, too.) So after I send them in, I suddenly get a kidney stone. Coincidence?

I THINK NOT!

Honestly, I was so mad at that little stone! So much pain in my back! It also happened right after I had decided fully on the mish. Pretty much, I am pretty mad at Satan, that lame jerk. Interesting to think about how a week ago my bish was telling me to "watch out" for the adversary. He came faster than expected. But at least it is just another testament about how true the gospel is. Everyone that I have talked to has had some sort of similar experience when they decide--and it sounds like it won't stop at this! Why would things happen to discourage us when it is for something that is not true? It only makes me want to go out more and with more strength, to show the world, God, and Satan that I know what I am doing is true and I am strong enough to endure.

So take that!

Ha, I am so excited for all that is going to happen in the next month. I get to turn my papers in in a couple weeks, and get my call at the end of this month. Holy crazy!!!! I know in my heart that this is what I am supposed to do and I just can't wait!

Am I nervous? Of course!
But do I know I will be in good hands? Only the best!

It will be so worth it and it will be so great to be in the Lord's company 24/7. Everyone gets nervous for something new, for the unknown. But it will be an amazing experience and something that nothing else will compare to. I just can't wait!

I hope all is well with everyone. I love you all and life is so good!

Cheers.
