Heavenly Father prepared the way

Back in August, my dad gave me a Father's Priesthood Blessing, just like he does every year before school starts. In that blessing, he promised me that I would be called to the MTC as soon as I had my birthday- that I would go to a semester of school in the fall, then come home until my mission.
During the first week of school, I went to the academic advisors. Since my birthday is the end of March and missionaries rarely leave right on their birthday, they HIGHLY encouraged and pressured me to attend winter semester, put my availability date a month later, and I could finish a whole semester more before going.
LOGIC was screaming for me to register for winter classes and stick around a month longer. However, on my walk home, I went straight to the Riviera office and put my housing contract on the list to sell for winter. Usually, contracts are hard to sell and wouldn't even be looked at until November. But. ONE WEEK later, I sold my contract to a Brazilian girl, through the office.
Looking back, I gain a HUGE testimony of FAITH.
I sold my apartment contract in SEPTEMBER, believing that I wouldn't come back in January. I put March 18th as my availability because it is THE very day I turn 21. In DECEMBER I received my call. I report to the MTC on March 14th. ALL Nauvoo sisters come in that day. Had I stayed another semester, I COULDN'T have been called to my fore-ordained mission. As promised, I will be in the MTC the week of my birthday. Faith precedes the miracle. Heavenly Father prepared the way.
