Today I got my mission call. For those of you non mormon, a mission call is a letter packet with a letter stating where you will be going and when you will leave for your mission. I have been called to serve the Argentina Bahia Blanca mission for 24 months. I leave for the Provo MTC in November. To be quite honest i'm a little sad. I'm not too familliar with spanish culture, nor very interested in it. Everyone tells me alot of boys in our stake are going to Argentena. . . Which makes me feel like i'm just another fish in the bowl. A boring little goldfish, just like everyone else. I wouldn't have minded an in-state mission, though i would have loved to gone foreign. But i am going foreign, just not to an asian country like my sister. IDK, maybe it's for the best, maybe it'll help me gain a better perspective of my life, be more thankful for what i have. . . Well, the good thing is that i have a head start in the language department, tho not much. Well, what's done is done, like the mormons say, Thy will, not mine, be done.
Oh and also my dog died about a week ago. I'm fine, just another sickening reality i have to deal with. that's why in this blog i don't have pictures of my life, my family, my friends, the events going on, instead i have illustrations of characters in my head. Cus reality is just too disgusting. In my head, no one dies, no one grows up, no one has to say good bye, no one has to worry about their future because i create a future that's bright and lovely. And even though i do put my characters through alot of hells, i still make a happy ending visible at the end of the track. In reality, theres so much uncertainty and hardship. . . in my religion it is thought to make us stronger. . . well is there a straw that breaks the camel's back . . . what straw is going to break my back?
