SM dedication vespers

I didn't think I would enjoy tonight's vespers, but I really did.  After countless hours of filling out forms, talking to people from the SM office, and sitting through orientation class, we got to enjoy a dedication vespers tailored just for us.  Except for a rather disorganized practice before vespers started and many of us participants wishing we could just walk to the front from the center aisle instead of the side to shake Rebeca's hand and get our candles, the whole evening went pretty well.  Just as vespers started, I realized that I should tell my mum to watch the stream online, so I texted her to let her know what was going on.  She was glad I did and enjoyed watching the vespers.  And, despite thinking that this vespers wasn't going to make an impact on me, it actually did.  It was a really nice service and I finally feel like I'm ready to go off to serve.  Now, if I could just find out if I've been accepted at the place I want to go, I could start getting excited...
