Been a while since we've been on my blog, eh?
Well, since the last post I made, here's what's happened:
- Past my 1 year mark, for the last time I self harmed (YAY)
- I went to the Newport Beach Temple, which is pretty beautiful!
- Then I went to DISNEYLAND :D
Oh. And one other thing....
MY MISSION PAPERS WERE SUBMITTED TO SALT LAKE AHHHHHHH!!!!!!
So I mean, I'm kinda freaking out. Between the time I began my mission paper work and turned it all in was just over a month. I have had so many missionary opportunities with so many people around me, just by going through this process!
I will admit, though, it hasn't been easy since those papers were submitted. For one, I can feel Satan working on me. The closer that we get to Heavenly Father, and doing what He wants us to do, Satan's like "Welp, can't have that!".
Rude.
Through prayers, and blessings from Priesthood holders, I'm making it through. (:
Number 2, though.
Mhmm.
If you know ANYTHING about me, well. I'm not a patient person.
I am also a control freak.
So here I am, every single day, checking my LDS Missionary Log-in page to see if my call has been submitted. (**SPOILER ALERT THEY HAVEN'T BEEN AS OF 2 HOURS AGO UGH**)
Although I will say, I am so blessed. My Bishop and Stake President have been so patient with me, and offer comfort. I actually just emailed my Stake President a while ago, and asked when I should be concerned about not receiving my call. He told me that my mission papers are "in process", meaning they have received my call and are pondering where I should serve.
I'm so impatient, but I know that this wait will be worth it. I cannot begin to explain how much I want to serve the Lord, and bring others unto Christ. This Gospel has brought so much love, happiness, comfort and support into my life. I know that it's true, and I know that I have been saved in more ways than one.
Best part?
I have the opportunity to spread the Gospel, and help change lives for the better. I can use my testimony of this Gospel to save others, and that in itself will make all the trials I've been through more than worth it.
I'll try and update more, I promise! Thanks for reading, come back soon for more random adventures from me, soon-to-be Sister Noriega!

I will let everyone know when my papers are submitted, start thinking about your guess's on where I'll serve! (:
