This week we had the chance to have a mini missionary with us. It's when
the youth can be assigned with some missionaries for about 3 days and you just
work. Our mini missionary was named Alan Antuna. He is way cool. He was
baptized about a year and a half ago and he has such a huge testimony. I
learned a lot from him actually. He's 20 and he just really wants to go on a
mission. I wish I were as prepared as he is. In our Ward this missionary that
served in Provo Utah just returned home too and EVERY time you see him you just
see the biggest smile on his face. He truly loved his mission and I am sure did
everything he could to give it his all. I have really had the chance to ponder
this week and just think about my future a little. Think about how I want to
end my mission because really "The way you end your mission is how you
will start the rest of your life" and I know that to be true. Sometimes it
does get tough but honestly it really is the biggest joy when you see people
apply the teaching of Jesus Christ in their lives and change. Seeing others
smile just lights up your whole day. I love Jesus Christ and his Gospel. It has
changed me completely and I am so thankful for what he has done for every
single one of us. Because of him we have that opportunity to return with our
Heavenly Father one day! I really do love my mission and I love the people
here, though agency stinks at times, it's an amazing gift God has given us to
be able to choose between Eternal Life or Death. (2 Nephi 2:27)
I love you
