Hey...thanks for your comments. I was a little disappointed that you were going to stop xanga-ing too. I wish you the best of luck, and more importantly, may the Spirit be with you.

Mm...one thing I think I've learned about wanting to leave on a mission early...is that I think there is a reason for our ages and the events that happen in them? As in, if you were ready to leave on your mission, you would be 19 already. I guess what I'm saying is...we both have a lot to learn before we go. I know I do, anyway. I still have a year...but I take that to mean, with my desire to go, that in that year, I will learn 'many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God,' you know?

So, again, good luck! I wholly believe that our seemingly premature righteous desires will be to our benefit. =]
