Wow. What a day. As many know, I have been planning on serving a mission for my church for a while now. My birthday is in April however and I couldn't serve till then. My best friend Heather has been preparing and doing papers for a while now because her birthday is in January. I have been envious that she can turns hers in and patiently waiting for the day when it is my turn. Feeling at a standstill. But the prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ announced at General Conference today that the ages of missionaries have lowered to 18 for boys and 19 for girls. I was shocked and so giddy, grateful, and had a hard time focusing on the other talks. My little brother Steve has been also patiently waiting for his turn to serve. He is only 17 years old and is a freshman at BYU. It has been really hard for him to watch all of his friends go on missions while having to wait for almost 2 years for his. But his prayers were answered and he has been blessed by this announcement. We are so excited to be able to leave in January together. I am so glad to have a prophet on earth today who leads and guides the living church of God on the earth today!
