Looking Back

A friend asked the other day if I remembered what I had been doing exactly a year ago. I thought about it and I realized I was doing the same thing. I was getting ready for finals week and moving out of my apartment. I suddenly realized that in five months I will be packing my bags again, only this time I would not be coming back to Rexburg and to BYU-Idaho for a couple of years because I have decided to serve a full time mission. I then thought about what I would be doing a year from now. I would be somewhere preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. This will be one of the greatest and most important things I will have ever done. I'm looking forward to one year from now, when I will be serving the Lord and devoting all of my time to proclaiming his gospel.
