I never would have thought that I would be in love with serving a live at home mission, but honestly I’m so lucky. With all that’s happening in the world and some of my friends not sure what they’re missions are gonna be like, for the first time in months, I finally have some certaintyContinue reading “I’m a missionary now at the coolest place”

It’s my last week of work and it doesn’t feel real. I’ve been here for almost 2 years now. I’ve seen a lot of people come and go. I’ve met so many wonderful people and heard so many amazing stories. These guys are like family now. They hear all about my dating experiences. They hearContinue reading “Goodbye old people”

This past Monday, I finally received my mission call. I woke up from a nap to find a text message and email saying “Your mission call is now ready to be viewed.” If you ask my mother, the screams that came from my mouth almost sounded painful. I was in a daze, shocked. I ranContinue reading “I’m going on a mission. Finally. Surprise!”

These past few weeks have been a struggle. “Claire, have you heard anything about your mission call?” “So, anything?” “Man, I don’t know what I would do if I was in your place.” “You’ve had to wait how long?” It’s endless. I get it though. We all just want to know where I’m going. That’sContinue reading “Claire, stop crying. You’re fine”

My friend and I have been planning this trip for little over a month and half. Nothing too fancy, just to southern California. We left at the early hour of 6 AM on Monday morning. Stopped at Vegas. Met Elvis. And then another couple of hours later, made it to our hotel where I amContinue reading “I took a big girl trip and here’s what happened”

If I were to be be good at anything, it’d be procrastination. I mean, I literally procrastinated my own birth. My poor mother was in labor with me for a solid week. Bless her soul, but she did get the wonderful blessing of me. #humblebrag I started my mission papers back in December. I knowContinue reading “When is it my turn?”

I often find myself enjoying life for what it is, but then getting confused and slightly concerned when it seems things have been going too smoothly for too long. It’s a dangerous mindset to be living in sometimes. The fear of something bad lurking around the corner. I’ve also learned to ignore it and justContinue reading “slightly confused, but slightly overjoyed”
