And I'm off!

Hello all! I am Julia Mendenhall (Sister Mendenhall) and on October 29th I will begin serving as a full-time missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Finland. I will email my family updates of my many adventures spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ and they will post those updates on this page. This blog contains my own thoughts and opinions and is not an official page of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. For privacy names of those I meet may be changed.

I hope that this blog will bring a smile to your face and that it can help you understand why I chose to give 18 months of my life in service to the Lord. I am so excited to serve! I know this will be a growing experience for me and I hope that what I post here can help you to grow closer to our Savior Jesus Christ and feel of His love. I know that we have a caring Heavenly Father that loves each of us deeply, and individually.

My contact information will be kept current on this blog and I would love to hear from any and all of you! If you have any questions about what members of my church believe, about life, if it really is that cold in Finland, or anything else I’m happy to answer! You can also look here for my Mormon.org profile to learn a little more about me and my faith.


One last thing, I have never had a blog before, so if something looks a little funny, laugh at it and know someone will try to fix it later:)
