THE FIRST OF MANY GOODBYES

Missions are way cool, but also pretty bittersweet, ya know? I've been using the word bittersweet way too much lately-but it just perfectly describes how I feel about everything!

It's so exciting to see all of my guy friends getting their mission calls and preparing to leave. I am so, so proud of each and every one of them.

Trevor is the first out of our graduating class to leave, which is weird because his leaving kind of signifies the beginning of many more goodbyes. He left yesterday and I already miss the heck out of him.

Bolivia is lucky to have ya, Trev. Go kick some spiritual booty.

CHURCH HISTORY TOUR

I've spent the past week and a half traveling around the country in a giant green bus.
We visited all of the historical sights of the early lds church, and on the way my testimony was strengthened, I made so many memories, and I met new lifelong friends.
I can't wait to share all of my journeys with you in many more posts to come!

WE COULDN'T TAKE A GOOD PICTURE IF OUR LIVES DEPENDED ON IT.

Well, it's official:

I am getting old.

All of my friends are leaving on missions. This kid left 3 months ago. He got out of the MTC Tuesday and is now in Ukraine! Speaking Russian! In Ukraine! This is so crazy.

And now with the new age change, many of my friends will be leaving within this next year.

Sometimes I can't help but think how fast my life is going.

I leave for college in one year. I leave for my mission in two. This is so crazy.

Good luck to you, Elder Knighton! Ukraine wont know what hit 'em. ;)
