!!*! OH MY GOODNESS!!!*!!*
AHHHHHHHHHHH !!! :) :) :) :) <3<3<3<3 (: (: (:
To put into words the amount of joy which filled my soul the moment President Monson announced that girls everywhere can serve missions at the age of 19! I was overcome with a love and fire to personally invite every girl everywhere to drop what you are doing and get your butt on a mission!

As the announcement was made ( being in a HUGE auditorium packed with Missionaries) an enormous out break of Joy was audibly heard and piercingly felt in each missionaries heart, to such an great amount that brought myself and all the sisters serving with me to tears. In that moment I felt how our spirits must have felt in the pre-existance when God announced the plan for us to come to earth and we "sang together and shouted for Joy!" :) ( Job 38-7)
My heart shouts for Joy in love for my Heavenly Father and the miracle which took place in this conference! To think of how much this is going to change the world is a great reason to rejoice!

I know that as our Young women fill the earth, as missionaries called by our Heavenly Father they will not only out number the Elders- We will make is possible for places to open up to missionaries that currently cannot because of the lack of missionary numbers. I believe with all my heart that this is an answer to my prayers. I know that as we strengthen our " Troops" and double our sizes as missionaries places like China will soon be opened!
Someone once told me that its not China that isn't ready for us, its that we aren't ready for China. It is my testimony that as our Young Women and Men are worthy and go out and serve out God; This will be the start of one of the most influential periods of time. Things are rolling, the Gospel is coming forth and the truth of God is going out rapidly to all the world.

I would dare challenge every person I know to come until Christ and become worthy to serve God. To serve those around you, and if applicable to start your papers to serve a mission TODAY. Don't look back on your life and regret that you didn't do everything possible to help others come into Christ. .... I know that a mission is the best thing for any young women or young man. I have only been a missionary for 4 weeks, but is has been the best weeks of my life. There is nothing that compares to being a full time missionary!

I am so grateful that I am able to be a part of this great and marvelous movement. I am filled with an overwhelming amount of peace and appreciation for Heavenly Father. I am so glad he waited until I was in the MTC to make this announcement, because I know I would have dropped everything at 19 and served! BUT with the Lord I know there are no coincidences. I know that I am supposed to be here right now~! If I would have come 2 years earlier I would not have met the people I am going to meet, or built the relationships I have these past 2 years. There is no way I could be who I am today without all those people who have influenced my life over the last little while in my life. I was meant to be serving at this time, in this mission, for these people.

That being said, NOW is your time!:) For whatever reason I needed to wait, BUT you are being called now to serve with me! Please listen to your heart, and if there is any desire to serve please Follow it!! And Don't look back! I know that President Monson was directed to make this announcement for a marvelous cause, and we are a part of that! STEP UP and stand tall as a Representative of Jesus Christ in these Latter Days!

( side note: And Elder in my Zone just said: " ... The saying won't be " Will you wait for me? " any more.... it will be " Don't wait for me!.... Serve with me!" Haha :P)

I testify that Jesus is the Christ! That this is the truth in its fulness, and our way back to him is through his Gospel.
I sincerly plead with everyone I know to come until Christ, to find that peace and rest you seek for. make those changes you know you need to make and find the Joy and Happiness that comes through the atonment . This seriously is the best day of my life! I would stay a missionary forever if Heavenly Father needed me to. I desire every person I know to experience the same joy I feel now....

Especially my family and close friends who have fallen away from the Church. I wish to express how my heart aches when on days like today I am filled with so much love and enthusiasm for God and his plan, and to not have the people I love most have their hearts swell within them as mine does now. I only want you to feel Gods love and the happiness it has brought into my life. I know you can feel it in your life too. Please give him a shot, open up your hearts to the possibilities of being taught. I promise you the spirit will touch your hearts! I know as you take those simple steps to come unto Christ he will guide you and comfort you.

Everything I have experienced every trial I've gone through has strengthened my love and desire to serve. I've noticed that too often I have stood by on the sidelines watching the people I love make choices and decisions that have hurt them spiritually. I didn't ever say anything because I wanted to love them for who they are, rather than what they do. I love all of you more than I could physially express with words. But I've learnt that part of my needs to step out there and stand strong in y beliefs. I don't want to regret not sharing my testimony with you. I am here now, making a promise and commitment that for as long as I live I will testify of the impact Christ and his Gospel has make on my life for good.

I am openly Boldly standing as a witness that God is real, that he is our Heavenly Father and that through Jesus Christ we really can over come ANYTHING and become free from sin, sadness, heavey burdens, heartaches, and our joys can be made more real.
My teacher Brother Pendly noticed how whenever there is a spirital moment in class I close my mouth and just write down the thoughts and impressions I recive. Yesterday he bore testimony of the importance of opening your mouth and sharing those thoughts and feelings. He said that " What your thinking might be the answer to someone elses prayers". This really hit me because so often I learn truths and recieve understanding but I keep it to myself. I've done this my whole life and I just wonder how many times I missed out on being an answer to someones prayer because I chose not to open my mouth.

Pendly was talking about opening my mouth in a classroom setting, but it stuck a cord deeper in me. I realized that the promises I Was given are conditional on me opening my mouth and sharing those experiences with others. To allow the spirit to enlighten understanding, build faith and strengthen your testimonies. God has blessed me with an ability to feel the spirit and understand. But it will all go to waste it I cannot share it with others. - To help build them up through my experiences.

Please give him a chance. I know he will not let you down. I know this because believe it or not I've had hard days. I've struggled. I've felt alone, and even here in the MTC I've had my rough days with learning the language. But HE has NEVER left me alone. He is my rock, My redeemer, and I know that if you let him into your life he can be yours too.

I hope this letter isnt taken the wrong way, I only wish to invite the spirit to touch your hearts. To have the desire to re kindle that relationship with God, starting simple with Prayer. He want to help you, he loves you. Please reach out to him. The gospel is going forth and nothing is going to stop it! As we are strictly obedient miracles happen, and this is a HUGE miracle.
I can see how prepared we are to serve. Our families, institutes, and stakes are preparing worthy youth to serve as a part of the Army of Helaman- To bring the world his truth! And its not going to stop until the work is finished!

I love all of you so much, and am so grateful for the opportunity and privilage of being able to serve a mission. I have seen so many miracles in such a short time. I know God lives.

With all my love,
Sister Sulz
