Today was an absolutely incredible day. It was the first day of General Conference. President Monson made a life-altering announcement this morning that young men can now serve missions at age 18 and young women can serve at age 19. This is such a blessing! BYU is going crazy. Almost everyone's plans for the next three years just got turned upside down. I have never really planned on serving a mission because I hoped to be working towards getting married by the time I was 21. It always felt like being 21 was so far off that I didn't have to worry about it yet. I always thought that I would think about serving a mission once I got that far. Now all of a sudden I will be 19 in less than three months--this makes serving a mission a real possibility for me. It blows my mind. I am thinking about putting in my papers this year and leaving over the summer to serve the Lord for a year and a half. I'm not sure what will happen yet. I need to pray to find out if that is what my Heavenly Father wants for me. I would be so happy if it is in His plan for me. I really want to serve a mission.
