One talk down, eighteen months worth to go. It's crazy how fast time has gone, yet how long it seems that I have waited for this moment. I am thrilled to enter into the MTC this Wednesday, yet at the same time, it is just sinking in on what I am leaving behind. I have the best support system in the world. Friends and family from all over showed up, and I am forever grateful for each and everyone of them in every way. Though I know it is not goodbye, I realized just how long a see ya later can appear to be. Though I will miss them all, there is no other place where I feel I should be, and there is no other place my Father in Heaven wants me. As much as I love my family and friends here, I love the people of Russia just as much. I just need to get over their to help them know it.
