Checking Things off the List

I report over to the MTC in Provo in exactly 7 weeks 3 days 23 hours from now! Things are getting pretty exciting for me, yet crazy!! My boss at work gave me a raise from $9 an hour to $10 so that will help me out quite a bit to get to my goal of $6,500. They also told me that I will be working all day on Mondays so from 10 am till closing which is 9:30 pm. That's a long time, but I don't mind, as long as I get money for my mission, I'll try to do the best I can.

As for my mission preperation, I still am waiting for the FBI Background Check to come back so that I can get my Visa to stay in Spain for two years. When that comes back, I get to send off my Visa application along with that off to Missionary Travel as well as my Passport to get the Visa! In the meantime, all I can really do is check other things off of my list. Yesterday we did a lot of shopping for my mission. We went to the mall and I got two new pairs of black dress shoes, 8 white button up shirts, and a new suit and dress pants which are being altered to fit me better. This coming Friday we will head on back to pick up my suit and pants and then I'll have to try them on to see how everything feels!!! Pretty exciting times are here! I'll keep you updated on the things that happen up to the point where I go on my mission, then, it will be my parents' job to keep you guys up to date! Until later.
