Countdown to New Years

Everyone has their countdowns to Christmas. I have my countdown to New Years Eve. That's the day my life will shift from being an ordinary (but slightly ridiculous) college student to being a missionary.

28 days until I leave to the Mexico MTC.

27 billion things to get ready. 

26 more minutes of a talk that I need to write.

25 minutes a day that I need to read the scriptures. 

24 hours a day that I think about a mission.

23 hours of the day that I am awake.

22 days until Christmas (just for all those who don't have their countdowns).

21 or more times I have gone to the temple since receiving my call.

20 minutes of Spanish study I should be doing.

19 years of preparation.

18 months I am expected to serve.

11 days until my farewell (and my birthday!!).

10 skirts and dresses.

9 thousand 5 hundred miles from here to CHILE!!
