One of my very dearest friends left today for the Missionary Training Center to begin her training as a Sister Missionary for the New Jersey-Morristown Mission. I read this quote from Gordon B. Hinckley today shortly after her family and I dropped her off:

"Now you young women are on the threshold of life. You are old enough to have been baptized. You are young enough that the future world of which you dream still lies ahead of you. Each is a child of God. Each of you is a creature of Divinity. You are literally a daughter of the Almighty. There is no limit to your potential. If you will take control of your lives, the future is filled with opportunity and gladness. You cannot afford to waste your talents or your time. Great opportunities lie ahead of you."

I respect my friend Lindsay for doing this exact thing. Rising to her potential, taking chances, being brave and partaking in the great opportunity that has been presented to her. Way to go Linds! See you in 18 months!
