Alyse at the MTC

We have heard from Alyse and she is loving the MTC!  Her departure date to California will be Nov. 9th.  This picture is of her in front of the MTC .  She enjoyed the ride down to Provo with 3 of her 4 siblings and her parents.  They shared memories of her and gave her advice they learned on their missions.  Alyse felt it was such a blessing that her new niece came almost four weeks early and was born on the morning she left.  So she got to see her on her way down to the MTC.  She is loving it so far!

On My Way

I have decided to go and serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It was about two years ago I really decided to go on my mission. Boys go when they are 19 and girls can go with they are 21. I am 23 and just now going out. It took me a little longer to grow up. I am very excited to go out and serve! I am 96% excited and 4% nervous, or maybe it's 4 % excited and 96% Nervous but that's the fun in it all!! I will keep ya'll update once a week when I write home my lovely mother will post my next 18 months of my life! Thank you all for your love and support! I love you all!! God Bless!

'As I stare out the window, the tears still in my eyes, I see my family and those I love as we have said our last good-byes. The ride is long and tiring and two questions plague my mind, Do I want the life that is up ahead or the one I left behind? Two years is a long, Long time for going door to door. In my reflections I think to myself ' There really must be more!" As I stepped down off the plane I stared smiling at the beach, When a man turned me the other way saying, "Elder, go find and teach"    

    'And now I sit reflecting as this day is my last, "please Lord, this isn't fair, the time goes by so fast" As I look out the window, the tears still in my eyes, I see the Elders and those I love as we have said our last good-byes. The ride is long and tiring and two questions come to mind... Do I want the life that's up ahead or the one I left behind?"
