    Does this count?...

    I've been to mission prep a couple times over the last few years, but I think my mission training has officially begun with this... ;)



     I found this movie (Errand of Angels) at Crystal and Sam's Whare whilst house sitting/cat cuddling.

    We promptly watched it followed by 'The Best Two Years' 

    Holy MOly I'm excited!!!!

    Next up, I think its time to properly go through my copy of 'Preach My Gospel' which I have had for almost a year, but haven't really gone through it.. 



    Its also a NY's resolution to finally do my personal progress. I was one of those who started it + loved it till it got changed, took me a little while to get into it again, then I turned 18 and didn't finish it.. :( silly me. So I'm off to the Visitors Center shop on Tuesday to pic me up a copy of the NEW new Personal Progress booklet. Funnnn!! :D 

    I'm off to do some more preparing..... This totally counts right?
