New Future Elder here

[HyperShadow]

I stumbled upon this site as I was looking around at different resources and sites to help my studies. I browsed a few threads and discussions and it seems like an awesome place here,and I hope my experience here will be too.

Right now in life, I'm working to pay off the rest of my mission fund, almost 3/4 the way there as of now. I am preparing myself to serve a full time mission. I've been reading the Preach My Gospel manual like crazy and its such an awesome resource!

I had my interview with my Bishop last week to become an Elder, and awaiting my Stake President interview shortly. I was nervous in the Bishop interview, I cant imagine the Stake President one, >_<.

Anyway, Hello to you all!

I am happy to see a young man preparing so diligently. Missions are a wonderful thing and a special responsibility. You sound like you are catching the vision of that now!!!

Welcome to the forum. Looking forward to your input.

I know! I have caught that!

I dont think I've ever been this excited, I mean like, my whole life it was like "Yeah, I'll serve a mission" and think nothing of it. But now that its so close, its crazy! I just want to learn all that I can right now until I turn 19 (April), and be ready to serve!

XD, got a little carried away.

My friend left for his mission a few months ago, and that made me excited, he is so lucky to be out right now. Of course I wont see him for a long time, seeing how I'll be on my mission for two years then I could see him.

I just want to read my Book of Mormon and Preach My Gospel nonstop for some reason, of course work and sleep wont let me, .

woo hoo!

[Misshalfway]

Get to know that Bible too!!!

[HyperShadow]

Yes yes I will, I will switch between all the scriptures, I have plenty of time to re-read them a bunch of times.

Hi Hyper... My son has about one year to his mission... he is swtill playing cs and he ahs to consentrate to his studies , last year in High School. He isa very good guy, but sometimes I worry as he dont seem to be interested in reading about gospel... hmm, maybe I worry too much.- I am so in to this myself ..'

Anyway well come! Enjoy! Let us knowwhere you are going for mission!

[HyperShadow]

Yeah, I graduated earlier this year, and basically all I do with the gospel was church and seminary. I didnt think too much of my mission, just that it will be happening soon. Then my friend left on his and I knew I had to be prepared.

I guess, dont force him, people hate being forced doing things. I bet that he will soon realize what he needs to do.

I've played CS, and I still play video games on a daily basis, thats going to be hard to not have then for 2 years XD haha.

Good luck with your son and thank you!
