I was set apart as a full-time missionary tonight by my stake president. It was a wonderful, powerful, enriching, strengthing, and sweet experience. I don't think I'll ever forget it. I'm officially an Elder, with a capital E!
That being said, this is my last post. I'm turning the blog over to my mom now, and she'll be posting and managing it from now on.
It's my time to serve, and my turn to proclaim the gospel from the metaphorical rooftops on my mission. I'm so excited! I'll just leave with you all with one of my new favorite missionary scriptures:
"Wherefore, I call upon the weak things of the world, those who are unlearned and despised, to thrash the nations by the power of my Spirit."
- Doctrine and Covenants 35:13
Besides the fact that I definitely feel like I'm one of the "weak things of the world", I love this scripture because of the imagery: to "thrash the nations". Let's get out there and do some thrashing! =D
Sincerely,
Elder DeLong
