Benn's Serving, Too.

I forgot to mention that my boyfriend, Benn, is serving as well. He decided to go on a mission almost a year and a half ago, but this is the soonest he has been available to go.
Somewhere along the way I decided to go, too, and now we will be serving at the same time.


He received his mission call to Ventura, California today. I am so proud of him. He has been an example to me without knowing it (or me knowing it, either) for a long time now. His faith and strength will touch the lives of many people. I believe Benn has a great work to do for the people of California.
He leaves June 5th.



Welcome!

My name is Victoria Graff and I am a nineteen year old girl living in Southern Utah. I am a Mormon.

About six months ago, the president of my church announced a change in the age requirement for missionaries. Men can now serve at 18 (or should I say 'boys'), and women can now serve at 19 (I'll stick with 'women').

I have decided, about six months later than the trend, to follow the Lord's promptings and dedicate the next 18 months of my life to serve as an ambassador in His place. It's been a very hard decision to make.

"I'm nineteen. These are the best years of my life. I want to finish school. I don't want my anti-Mormon family members to shun me. I don't want to lose contact with the ones I love. I want to move to New York. I will die without being able to cook! I will die without being able to perform! I really, really want to move to New York..."

"I will give you more..."
