How my mission changed my life

About this time two years ago, I was waiting anxiously for a white envelope to arrive. My mission call. The letter that would finally tell me where I would be spending the next 18 months of my life.

My mission opened my eyes to many things. I learned to be grateful for things that seemed so natural before- things like air conditioning, having food on the table, and clean water. It taught me how to rely on the Lord, and provided limitless opportunities to practice following the Spirit. I am a much better person now than I was before- or at least, I'm trying to be.

If someone out there is even just half considering serving a mission, I encourage you to take a leap of faith and do it!
