It's
been a long time since I got to tell you a lot about the mission. The
mission is going very successful as all of you are hoping that it would
be. A testimony is starting to build up. The seminary children really
like it when I come to help them out with the Gospel and so are the
teachers who like it when I help them out, along with other fellow
missionaries. It's been a big challenge of me to serve a mission to
Special Need children, but it has helped me a lot. It helped me to know
that I can become a Special Ed teacher for children with disabilities.
Even though some of the mission was challenging, it was still
worthwhile, especially when being called to do splits with the full-time
missionaries who serve in each family's home. That was one thing that I
learned about being a missionary. For being a Church Service
missionary, you can always help with full-time missionaries and I also
learned that when you're helping out at a seminary, you can always
relearn the education you may have missed when you were a
child/teenager.
Serving
this mission has been a blessing for me and it was also a blessing with
a persuasion from the Holy Ghost telling me to extend the mission, so
that I can serve more until my release from the mission. It's going to
be a sad moment that I won't be able to keep on serving the mission for
eternity, but I can learn that it is a blessing to remember and it can
be taught to my future children and spouse. I've also learned that even
when you're a church service missionary, it's hard to get along with
your siblings, especially some who are snarky. It's important to act
more like a missionary by being calm and kind to others, even if they're
being mean to you, just like Jesus Christ did with the people who
mocked and hated Him, but He never did the same thing to them, because
He loved them. That's a thing to remember about being a missionary, you
should love people, even your enemies. I often struggle with that, but
it's something I need to remember.
I only have two
weeks left of my mission and I feel kind of nervous of ending it, but at
least in the last week of June, I will guest blog about my whole talk
for the Returned Missionary report. I hope you all loved this and are
looking forward to my R.M. Report. :)
I have love following your posts about your mission. I think you served an awesome mission and I know you have touched many lives. I can tell you have grown a lot from your missionary service. You are a marvelous young man. Blessings for you!
