Well Virginia! After 4 1/2 months of preparing for my mission, the day has finally arrived for me to report to the Mission Training Center (MTC) in Provo, Utah where I will begin my journey as I study Russian and learn how to teach the people of Russia! As I enter the MTC, I am filled with mix emotions. I am sad to say goodbye to my family and friends, but I am excited to become a Representative of our Savior, Jesus Christ as I serve and teach the people of Russia. I know that as I serve them, I will begin to see and love them the way Christ loves and sees us. I know my mission will be difficult, but with the strength of the Savior, I can defeat any obstacle. With the Lord on my side, I will be able to share with those who are willing to listen about Christ's restored gospel. I am excited to witness to the people of Russia that Jesus Christ lives, that he loves us, and that through him we can become perfected.
My hope is that as I share my journey with you, your testimonies will be strengthened and your hearts will be filled with joy because of your faith in our Savior. I am thankful for my journey ahead of me. I look forward to growing closer to my Heavenly Father and my Brother, Jesus Christ. I will see you in 18 months.
Much love,
Sister Devynn McCartt
