I had my missionary farewell talk today, even though I still have 2 1/2 weeks left. But I know it will go fast...and it's one less thing to worry about later! ;)
I knew I would cry, especially when I saw I was speaking after the Priests and Laurels were singing the Sisters In Zion/We'll Bring The World His Truth medley. I didn't cry as much as I thought I would, but I knew I would. :P I hate crying!! haha
It was weird, I usually have my talk planned out word for word and read exactly what I had written, but this time, I seemed to be a little more on my own, freely speaking. I said mostly everything I had written anyways, but I don't think I looked down at my papers too much. Usually that freaks me out and makes me more nervous not to read it, but I felt more comfortable and ready to just speak what I was feeling. I guess that's good, because as a missionary I won't always be able to plan out exactly everything first! I imagine I'll be called out on the spot a lot!! haha
Thanks for everyone who came out today, I really appreciate all the support you've given me. Thanks for the encouragement in my decision to serve. Thanks for helping me become the person I am today. ❤
So with a smile on my face, and a prayer in my heart,
My whole world's behind me, my life's about to start.
I can't count all the blessings that are waiting in the end,
So I forget myself, and give it all to Him.
