So there are so many things that we learn on the mission and that we do that when you come home and there is that stander question.
Well what did you most learn on your mission?
Well the unfairness of this question is overwhelming. There are so many things that you learned that to talk about just one in a brief response that that person would like to hear is basically impossible.
but there are a few things that i have learned over the past 18 mos. that i would like to share with all my raving fans.
Something that i learned is that the hand of our beloved Heavenly Father is with us in every thing that we are doing that when we are suffering the most we are then also being carried the most. His guyed his loving hand, is pulling us through those tough times to the safety of a new day.
I also learned that is its really great to suffer. i would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to become a better more faithful saint. I am sure that even though Heavenly Father was with me through all that time he let me feel the pain that comes from, seeing his beloved children, and my wonderful siblings in the gospel choose things that are less than wise. Many times my heart was turnd to the scriptur in 2 Nefi 33:3 when Nefi sees the wickedness of the people and that destroys there lives. This not only brings much suffering to there personal life but also to all the people that care about them. That was the internal suffering but there are always many other forms of suffering that every missionary goes through. So when you are a parent watching your child suffer just remember that to some extent it is a good thing.
Which brings me to the next point of something that my mother has ALWAYS said.
"The only person you can control is you!" mom felt
Actually putting that into practice on my mission was the hard part. As a missionary you are only abel to do so much. this is true in real life as well. You can teach people all correct principals help them make and keep commitments but there comes a point when you cant do it for, them they have to make the call they have to decide what it is that they want to do. The eternal law of agency is essential to the craters plan. Men have to chose liberty or death. They have to chose what is best for them and how to be happy.
These were a few things that i learned on my mission. i am grateful to all my family and friends that i have been able to see and talk to and i hope to see and talk to many more.
love forever sister felt
