Mission Papers are in!

Hello! My name is Kira Webster. I am kind of new to the whole blog thing but I thought what the heck... might as well give it a try. 
So let me tell you a little bit about me. I am currently a student at Brigham Young University and it is awesome. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and it has been the biggest blessing in my life! I am so grateful for the knowledge that I am Child of God! Our Heavenly Father truly knows each and every one of us and loves us more than we will ever be able to comprehend. I know this to be true.
Also,I love to learn new languages! Therefore, I am currently in Spanish and Italian classes right now. Spanish is my love. I am seriously obsessed with the language, the culture, the food, the people and pretty much everything associated with it! 
I love the color purple.
I love music. Specifically Taylor Swift and Michael Buble.
I have two hermanas and I love them dearly.
I am obsessed with water. I love to go to the beach. I will literally spend all day in the ocean.
My favorite movie is Pride & Prejudice.... Keira Knightley version. good stuff.

So today I turned in my mission papers for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I am supposed to receive my call in 10 days! I am so excited and nervous all at the same time. I am not sure what to expect at all. I could be staying here in the states or I could be sent to another continent! I definitely cannot wait to see where the Lord wants me to go. Only 10 more days until I find out :)

Sister Missionaries!

Putting my heart on my sleeve.

Those you who know me know that I am a fairly happy person. I like to be happy and to make others feel the same. We often feel like we must must always be happy.  Anger, frustration sadness and loneliness are seen as weaknesses, but guess what? They make you human. For so long, I have seen sadness as something I need to rid myself of.  "Move on", "Get over it", "You're fine now, right?" I've heard all of these things but I know myself and I need time to hurt.  Letting yourself be sad frees you from deadlines and meeting the expectations of others.  Let yourself feel. Let your heart ache. Take the time you need. I am not saying to let yourself mope in self-pity for the rest of your life. I am saying that you need to let yourself heal on your own time and on your own terms. Everyone is different. It is okay to feel.  I have decided to meet with a counselor to receive support and advice from an outside source. He told ...

Trusting in the Lord

Lately, I have been having a lot of fears. I have been worried about my mission and whether or not I am ready. I have been worrying about what will happen when I come home. Everything has just been building up in my mind.  Then I came across this scripture in Mormon 5:23. 23 Know ye not that ye are in the hands of God? Know ye not that he hath all power, and at his great command the earth shall be rolled together as a scroll? Then I realized that I am the Daughter of an all-knowing God. He knows everything about me and He knows what is best for me. He has already assured me that going on a mission is the right choice and I just need to trust in Him. As I have been going over the many options in my future, I have begun to put the greatest amount of trust in God than I ever have in my entire life. It has made so much of a difference. Instead of worrying and being sad, I am happy and enjoying every moment that I have. Through prayer and reading the scriptures, I felt the love an...

I am Going to Be a Missionary!

21 Behold, I say unto you that whoso believeth in Christ, doubting nothing, whatsoever he shall ask the Father in the name of Christ it shall be granted him; and this promise is unto all, even unto the ends of the earth. 22 For behold, thus said Jesus Christ, the Son of God, unto his disciples who should tarry, yea, and also to all his disciples, in the hearing of the multitude: Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature; About two months ago, I was really struggling with accepting the fact that I would be serving a mission. I had so many fears and “what ifs” running through my mind. It was then I decided to say a prayer and ask my Father in Heaven for comfort. It was extremely late and I felt completely exhausted so I just went to read a few scriptures before bed. As I flipped open the Book of Mormon, this scripture is the first one I looked at. It is so simple and sweet but it was exactly what I needed to read. The purpose of my mission is not to focu...
