Be excited sister your about to join Gods Army!

  There are so many thoughts and feelings running through my mind. I am so grateful for my loving friends and family. To everyone that came for my farewell: THANK YOU!! I LOVE YOU ALL! And to all my other dear ones, I thank you for your love and support. Each and every one of you are so important in my life and I will miss all of you. And while I am gone I will be praying for you. 

  The tittle of this blog post came from an email sent to me by my awesome older brother. <3 leave for Utah on Monday morning to spend a few days with Isi, who is sweet enough to take care of me before I enter the MTC. On Wednesday I enter the MTC to serve the Lord as one of His missionaries.   

   I am so excited for my mission. I know that everything will be wonderful, hard and stressful at times but full of great experiences and growth. I am a little nervous about travel and all the change, but I know it will all work according to the Lords desires. 

   I love my Savior. I love my mission area. I love my future trainer and my mission president. I am so full of love I could burst!!!! The best advice I was given came from my Stake President, "Just love!" 

As a part of my pre-mission studies I selected a scripture, this scripture will be on my mission plaque. Doctrine and Covenants 84:88- "And whoso receiveth you, there I will be also, for I will go before your face. I will be on your right hand and on your left, and my Spirit shall be in your hearts, and mine angels round about you, to bear you up."  I love this scripture. It is important to remember while you are serving that you are not alone. The Lord will always be with you and He will send His angles to bless you and to bear you up. Fear not. Invite the spirit in all you do. Be awesome! 

To keep in contact with me while I am serving there are a few options. :) I will be in the MTC from anywhere to 2-3 weeks. My address while I am in the MTC is:  

Sister Onaleigh Jane Bryans

MAY03 FL-JAK

2005 N 900 E Unit 103

Provo UT 84602

And you can always email me too, but understand I have a limited amount of time. So I may rotate through who gets an email from week to week. BUT I will love reading your messages and they will make me happy. And my sweet Mother will be posting my family emails on this blog for everyone to keep track of what I'm up to. My email address is:

onaleigh.bryans@myldsmail.net

And finally I want to share my address for while I am in the field. I may give out a personal address later depending on rules and what area I am in. But to be safe sending things to the mission home is a sure-fire way to get it to me. That address is:

Sister Onaleigh Jane Bryans 

Florida Jacksonville Mission

8663 Baypine Rd Ste 102

Jacksonville FL 32256

United States

I know this church is true. I love the gospel of Christ! I am so excited to dedicate my next 18 months to the Lord. I know that there will be blessings sent to my family and friends at home. I will be praying for you all.
See you in 18 months!
