The Future in your Hands

Mission Call Opening

It's not everyday you get to hold your future in your hands. 

"Dear Sister Bertoldo,

You are hereby called to serve as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. You are assigned to labor in the Philippines Cebu East Mission. It is anticipated that you will serve for a period of 18 months. You should report to the Provo Missionary Training Center on Wednesday, May 13, 2015. You will prepare to preach the gospel in the Cebuano language...."

My first thought- "what is Cebuano?" I had never heard of Cebu or that language until that moment! But after the initial shock, I felt a little *click* like it was exactly where I was always meant to go.
