I Need Your Address

I am getting my address book together! So if you would like to hear from me in anyway, then I need your address, and I was thinking that i could also write a general e-mail and have a family member forward it to anyone that is interested in them. So if you are interested in keeping in touch or hearing from me in any way then I need your Address and E-mail. (jdsmiles00@gmail.com (those are zeros)is where you can send your information) :)
I personally love snail mail! It’s on the top of my favorites list! If you ever want to put a smile on my face then send me anything in the mail :) I don't know there is just something about opening the mailbox and seeing your handwritten name on something (well other then a bill ha ha) It's so exciting to me! I am smiling just thinking about the mail right now!
I was thinking back to all the different missionaries that I have written to and it's too bad that none of them are around to pay back the favor and write me ha ha :)

17 Day's Left!

I can't believe that I only have 17 days left! Its funny how time flies fast when you have a lot to accomplish, and with me being older I have more things that I need to get in order then most. My emotions have been going back n forth between excited to scared. Most of the scared feeling comes from the unknown. I've never been a missionary before, and I hear over and over again about how incredibly hard it is, but I just try and remind myself that anything in life worth having requires sacrifice and hard work. I found out that I am giving a talk this Sunday (the bishops last attempt to get me to have some sort of farewell, because I said I didn't want one ha ha) But I was remembering back to my last talk, when I realized that my last talk was when I was graduating high school and receiving my medallion and that was 7 1/2 years ago. ha ha well it looks as though this talk is going to start me on my missionary roll and get me used to speaking. So I basically have 2 weeks to get everything together and I am starting to freak out about whether it will all get done in time ha ha :) The Lord is awesome and will help me so that I can serve him. Anything is possible when you put your trust in the Lord!
