3 Months & Counting Down!

Three months until my mission trip to Mexico.

So it's exactly three months to the day until I will be down in Mexico to start my almost month-long mission trip with Maranatha called the Ultimate Workout.

I've been talking to a few of my close and dear friends from last year's mission trip and most of them are not going to be attending this year's Ultimate Workout. Although quite saddening, it makes it all the more exciting as it will only mean there will be more fresh faces to meet and welcome to the family. It will be another exciting, yet challenging adventure. The spiritual, mental, physical, and moral road of preparation ahead has been tough. However, each and every day I learn more about myself, others, and about God himself.

My regular daily exercise training schedule has begun and 2 weeks into it I feel great. My spring quarter for school has just started and the countdown to summer is already underway. Less than 9 weeks to go and the summer will be here. That thought keeps reminding me each and every time that the trip is just around the corner.

This quarter is exciting!! I love my classes, I love the people in them, and the biggest challenge yet, it's the most units I have ever taken on so far. 6 classes, 18 units.

Every single class offers something new and I am excited to give my 100% effort not only to do well in them, but to learn as much as I can even if what I learn has nothing to do with the class.

In my Communications class, a class that focuses on public speaking, I am excited to improve my public speaking, something that is the number one fear in the world even before death. In my Analysis of Theatre Arts class, I'm open to learning something new about an art so I look forward to taking that class on as well. In my English class, essays anyone? And I'm just not sure about what I will take out of my Philosophy class. I'm taking Beginning Judo which.... who knows maybe I'll be the next Judo master! And as for my 6th class, it is more of getting credit for my physical training for my mission trip. I log my weekly exercises and report to one of the Sports offices to receive credit.

Anyways, like I said in a previous post, as my mission trip gets closer and closer, I will be logging updates on how my preparation is going along. I am excited! I am ready and excited for what new things I will learn and the people I will meet!

Here's to an awesome spring quarter!!
