Dear World!

I have been called to serve as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in the New York Rochester Mission, Spanish speaking! I'll be working at the Hill Cumorah Visitors Center! I leave November 30th for the MTC.
Might I add that Austin's guess was NY Spanish speaking? Really weird. Really cool, though.

I really don't think I could be more happy with this call. Allow me to list why, in no particular order:
-I'm going to be speaking Spanish! Since it's a visitors center, they wouldn't have called me Spanish speaking if I didn't already learn it. I KNEW there was a reason I've felt directed towards Spanish. It just felt right.
-I'll be involved in the Hill Cumorah Pageant!
-I'll be required to be super sharp and cute rather than wearing things just to get through the heat
-I'll be able to write and receive letters no problem
-No strange food experiences! Or at least limited strange food experiences
-I'll be able to hold leadership positions since there aren't any Elders in a Visitors Center mission
-Yet! I'll still be able to tract since I'm also assigned to labor within Rochester
-I'll be learning and teaching about the life of Joseph Smith and the birthplace of the Church (I'm a history buff- HELLO! PERFECT)
-I'll be able to go to the Palmyra Temple
-I'll be back on the East Coast
-I'll get a break from Utah
-I'm leaving and coming home almost EXACTLY in the middle of Austin's mission - 3 months before and after
-I get to layer cardigans and scarves, both of which I love so much
-My mission is the pilot mission for blogging missionaries! That's right, folks. I'll be able to keep up my own blog while I'm there
-I'll have opportunities to talk with and teach people from all over the world
-A good friend has informed me that missionaries in my mission start and end their missions in the Sacred Grove

Seriously, though. Best. Mission call. Ever.
