You know, I put my papers ...That's so exciting. You know, I put my papers in just after I met Chris. He was very supportive of me going on a mission but when it came time to leave it was clear my path was to take a different direction. I have never regretted not going but I have met a lot of women who did go and there is a complexity about them that I can't put my finger on. Your life will be enriched beyond measure for serving a mission. Your knowledge of the gospel will increase more that it would if you didn't. Go. Everyone will still be there when you get back and 18 months really isn't that long. You have life experiences that will help you be an awesome missionary. You can empathize because you are a convert yourself. You'll rock that mission. I'm so excited for you!Christihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12676822238257093299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423088726180296900.post-19987158787829776382011-12-13T03:25:17.119-08:002011-12-13T03:25:17.119-08:00"When I think about leaving my friends and fa..."When I think about leaving my friends and family behind, I get so sad and can't imagine my life without them. My friends and family mean so much to me."<br /><br />Leaving my family was extremely difficult on my mission. I know that if you pray for strength and remember that you will see your family again youll be just fine. And that your leaving your family for a short time so that others can have there's for eternity. <br /><br />You are on your way to great things! :D im excited for you. In fact, i envy you. haha. Sometimes when a door of opportunity is present, we often look back if we are not fully committed. When you walk through that door have no regrets :D Thats my best advice hehe. A mission wont be easy. But itll be worth it. My mission taught me great things, i didnt serve full time, but i never regret the moment when i was serving. Love ya hope things continue to be a great blessing for you! We miss ya around here!<br /><br />- Corey :DCorey Brien Luncefordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11205995002018566633noreply@blogger.com
