And that big fat name in the middle of the list, Bakersfield California, is my hometown. :)

I don't even know if I can explain how excited I am about this. 

That is how I feel inside.

The last few days have been super rough (and too weird and difficult to explain, so I'm not going to), but this definitely puts things back in perspective.

I love this church. I love my savior Jesus Christ. I love His gospel. and I'm ecstatic about the influx in missionaries and that so many more people across the world will have a chance to learn about God's love for His children. Especially so many people in my own backyard.
