So I guess all of you know that yesterday was mah birthday (and if you didn't, repent and remember next year!). Things were pretty sweet... as far as mission life goes. My District Leader called me up to wish me a happy birthday and then before bed told me to dream of "beautiful missionaries." Another set of Elders sang me a happy birthday and my Zone Leaders wished me a happy birthday right before they gave me my mail.
Thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday. I'll thank you personally after I've finished with this. Thank you again to all those that sent me mail. My companion was pretty jealous of all the letters (and a couple packages) that I got. Heh heh heh...
So as I've looked back on this past year, I've seen just how much I've grown. And I'm not just talking about since I've been on a mission. I'm talking gospel wise. There's so much that I've learned and it all started around March of '08.
Anyways, I was just thinking about how I've spent previous birthdays. Mostly just hiding in my room trying to avoid the world and avoid coming to the realization that I'm now another year older. Last year though, I had a pretty sweet kareoke party and cut the cheese. This year, I just mainly spent my birthday thinking about all that everyone has done for me.
It wasn't just my birthday yesterday. It was also the day that my mom gave birth to me. So if for some reason you actually LIKE me, thank my mom for carrying me for nine months. Without her, I wouldn't be here to bless (and sometimes terrorize) the lives of others.
(Okay, maybe not terrorize. I probably just make other people's lives more difficult.)
So here's to you mom.
