Most Wonderful Time of the Year

I woke my brother up this morning by shouting, "It's the most wonderful time of the year! AWAKE."
Then, 20 minutes later, President Thomas S. Monson changed all of my plans for myself.
Young, worthy men of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints may begin their mission service at the age of 18.
Young, worthy women may begin at age 19.
My mission is coming more quickly than I had previously anticipated.
This excites me. This scares me. But! This mostly excites me!
The feelings racking through me when I first heard the news were unlike any I have experienced.
This is an historic moment in my church's history. And I will be a part of it.
They tell you to approach General Conference with questions. So many of my questions were answered in that one announcement.

Watch General Conference. Be blessed.

It is truly the most wonderful time of the year.


Christmas makes a close second.
