A Happy and Sad Announcement

Well, friends, I have both a HAPPY and a SAD announcement.

First, the sad:
I will no longer be going to Mexico to teach English in 2013...

Now, the happy:
While going to Mexico was one of my dreams, and improving my Spanish was a goal, I am pleased to announce that I've chosen a better route: I will be serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I am extremely excited for this chance to serve the Lord for 18 months. This came suddenly - I never expected to serve a mission. But after praying, I feel that my Heavenly Father desires that I should go. So, while I will be missing the "good" opportunity to go to Mexico, and the "better" opportunity to work and go to school, I will not be missing out on the "BEST" opportunity: to serve a mission for God and do His will.

I appreciate your understanding and love, and am very happy to announce this fabulous news!
