In case anyone was wondering...

Mom never emailed me back because - get this - I sent it to the wrong email address and it went into spam. I dashed out to the vehicle when Mom picked me up, and she had brought the letter for me.
The program that only "exceptional sophomores" can apply for, that lasts a month and is wicked awesome? I got accepted.
So this July, I'm doing the La Vida program in New York, taking classes at a seminary and going to Mexico City to work with Latin America Mission with a whole bunch of other people around my age who have also been marked as "future leaders of the church."
I am so looking forward to it, but I'm also nervous for a few reasons:
  • I've never been away from home for a month!
  • The La Vida thing is supposed to be really grueling (I heard something about a 10-mile run with no training)
  • Mexico in the summer? I'm a New England girl. I hope I don't get heatstroke.
I'm even more thrilled for a few reasons:
  • I've never been away from home for a month!
  • The La Vida thing is going to be really awesome!
  • I'm going to make unforgettable friends who are my brothers and sisters in Christ!
  • I'll get to serve God and others in ways I've never gotten to before!
  • I'm going to get to know God better, as well as the Bible during the seminary part!
Et cetera.
I can't wait for July!
