Go and Do

"We will be the Lord's missionaries to bring the world his truth!"

Serving an LDS mission is one of the greatest blessings that I have ever taken apart of. Giving up 18 months (24 months for men) of my life to serve him with all of my heart, might, mind, and strength was brought me so much closer to my Heavenly Father. Through my mission I have come to know him.

Having to return home early from the Washington DC North mission was probably one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. After being there for about 2 months I started to get really sick. After a couple ER visits doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong with me so I was sent home to Utah where I can receive the medical treatment that I need. Today I am battling a lot of weird symptoms including mild seizures that prevent me from doing everyday tasks like driving or cleaning the house. 

I don't have any clue what is going to happen but I know that its all in the Lords plan for me.I often find myself asking "Why am I the one that has to go through this?" Even though I was only out for about 5 months I was molded into the person that Heavenly Father wants me to become. He sees the bigger picture! Maybe I was only needed there for a short amount of time. Maybe someone back home needed me. I might never know the answer but I know that I trust him 100%. 

He knows each and every one of us personally! Turn to the Lord in your time of need and he will always be there for you!!
