you know you're a missionary when...

Come thou fount gets stuck in your head everyday because it's one of
those songs that's on every cd you have - multiple times, multiple
artists. #sufjanwins

You eat your mac & cheese disaster and burnt grilled cheese because
there's simply nothing else to eat.

A guy innocently or accidentally puts his hand on your shoulder and
you start freaking out because he's too close. #pleasedonttouch

You eat the leftovers you accidentally left on the counter all day and
just pray you don't get sick. #wastenot

You go to bake and discover your new apartment doesn't have measuring
spoons so you eyeball it and then you add more later because turns
out, you don't know what a teaspoon looks like.

You have dreams about baptisms, prophets, prayers, and elder/sister
relationships. Sometimes Barbie with a mean mug gets thrown in too,
but only after you say a prayer.

You take pictures with boys and discover a seemingly 10 foot gap
between the two of you. #awkward

You know you're a SISTER missionary when you deem the new no tights
rule in the VC the best news of your life. #freedom

you know you've reached your halfway mission mark when...

You no longer cringe when someone answers the door while tracting, but
instead say "yes!" and fist pump in your heart.

You wear the same skirt multiple times per week and don't even feel
the need to apologize for it. #comfortoverstyle

You see your family and don't know if it's real life or a dream. #surprisevisit

Your trainer asks you to sign her departing book before she leaves.

Food moves down on the list of priorities and sleep takes it's place.

Nap or lunch? NAP.

Sleep beats journaling at night. Apparently sleep becomes a halfway
missionary's downtime priority. #tiredallthetime

The goodbyes get harder. The departing missionaries are no longer
strangers, but people you've come to know and love.

All your awkward situations aren't awkward until you start thinking
about it afterwards. Awkward in person, awkward online, awkward over
the phone, awkward all the time. #lifeofamissionary
