I've returned from serving an 18-month mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I'm out of routine, out of structure, out of work, out of money. It's a wonderful time of my life. Since I've been back, I've read the Hunger Games, kissed a boy, and watched probably a million movies, among other things.
I've determined that I will learn to play the trumpet, study English education, and not have a boyfriend for a while. These are some things to keep me busy. The most important thing I am doing right now is sustaining my own conversion to the true and living church of Jesus Christ. I read my scriptures every day and pray and go to church happily every Sunday.
I'm going to be real and let you in on a secret: I'm scared to death of where I am in my life. I know it doesn't get easier as a body gets older. Emotionally, I'm weird and possibly unstable. Fiscally, I'm nada. Intellectually, I don't even know where I stand. I'm moving to Alaska in 3 days; you'd think I'd be used to shifting so much, but it chips away at my heart every time. It seems as I delve deeper into faith, the leaps get longer and deeper. But this is what I signed up for, so bring it on.
