I feel like people become their best selves when others rely on them.

Maybe that's why kids my age want so badly to have relationships. High School is ending in a few weeks and I am given responsibilities that I never had before:
  • Where am I going to go to college for now?
  • Am I going to get a job?
  • When am I going to get my dumb license?
But some things that I don't have to question are that the church is true, that I am going to serve a mission, and that I love my family.
It is one of the greatest feelings to know that I can do hard things. Cami wrote me a letter the other day and in it she challenged me to read the Preach My Gospel daily. I have gone two weeks reading it each night and it changed me for the better. In it I read a section about setting sort term and far reaching goals and the closeness it brings to the Lord is incredible. Soon enough, it feels like, I will be in the mission field, I feel it getting closer and closer ever time I get a letter from a missionary friend or read the scriptures and I cant wait. I just wish that I can influence someone's life the way that Cami, Robert, and Ricky have done for me.
