Alright everyone, It's the week before I leave for the MTC and I am so excited, nervous, terrified, and every other emotion that you can think of! This week I've got to get everything ready and make sure I have everything and it all fits and such! I have been having mini panic sessions when I think about going, and then I stop thinking about them and they go away! THANK GOODNESS I KNOW I AM DOING THE RIGHT THING!!!!
I am going to be handing over my facebook, and email stuff to my mom, she will also be handling this blog as well. I will have her post my emails here, and if you want them emailed to you instead you can leave your email in a comment and we can add you to the list.
There are new rules regarding emails, anyone can email me, and if I am correct...don't quote me on this, but I am pretty sure I can email back. So here is my email address, my MTC Address, and my Mission Address so you all have my info!!!

I would love letters, emails, packages, love notes, pet lizards...whatever you feel like sending! :) I will do my best to write you back with the time I have!
I would like to thank all of those people who have influenced my life over the years, Primary, young women's, relief society, friends, roommates, family, and the random people that I came in contact with every day that taught me so much! :) I love you guys and am going to miss you all so much! :)
I know that the work I will be doing for 18 months is where I am supposed to be, and where the Lord needs me. I know that the gospel brings so much happiness to everyone who has it, and I am so excited to be able to share that happiness with those that don't! I know that Christ died for me and for each of you and if you turn to him for everything you are struggling with he is there and he will listen, and he will be there to comfort you and guide you through your trial.
I know that this church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, is the only true church on the earth today. I know that satan is real, and he knows where our weaknesses are and he will use them against you. You can't let him win! You have to beat him, We know who wins in the end, and that's all that matters.
I love the Book of Mormon with all my heart, and I know that there are answers found within the pages of it. If you want to talk to God, pray. If you want God to talk to you, read the scriptures. I have found this to be true time and time again, and it will work for you if you just ask with a sincere heart having faith in Christ. (Moroni 10:4-5)
I love the temple so much, the covenants and promises we make there are saving and eternal. Heavenly Father wants us back and in the temple we gain the knowledge to get back to him. All we have to do is obey. Like it says in the Book of Mormon hundreds of times, keep the commandments...prosper in the land. Simple as that. I love the Lord so much and am so grateful for his sacrifice for me. I know he lives, and that I have been called by him to serve in the Columbus Ohio mission for 18 months, and that there are people there that only I can touch. I love you all and can't wait to get letters and hear from you.
God be with you 'till we meet again
Love
Sister Buhler :)
