Why did I choose to serve a mission? Great question! I grew up being
LDS but actually I wouldn’t ever seek out my religion. I did always want to
serve a mission, I always told myself that not knowing for sure why, growing up
I loved religion but it was almost like I went through the motions. It wasn’t
until I went through certain things in my life to where I wanted more out of
this life here on earth, I wanted for MYSELF to understand where I came from,
why I’m here, and where I am going. Through regular life experiences, trials,
goals, I tried to seek for myself the powers of God our Heavenly Father and
Jesus Christ. I read the Book of Mormon, cover to cover. 4 pages a day, finished in about 5 months. Much like the bible, as I read the Book of Mormon the power
of implementing; prayer, reading, building a relationship with our Savior and
Heavenly Father, there occurred to be a mighty change of heart in myself, in a
very trialing growing time of my life. In ways of forgetting about myself and
seeking my relationship with my Father in Heaven I found that myself was
changing more than I could imagine, I found myself HAPPIER than I ever had been
in my life. I found reason to be a good person, to be honest, to strive to
become more like our Savior Jesus Christ. It wasn’t until I wanted these things
for myself is when I realized the true power of these things. I KNOW for a fact
if you seek these things for yourself. PRAY ask of God, build your relationship
and read the scriptures. You WILL find happiness; you WILL find reason to things.
There’s many more things I could go on and on about. Follow my blog, but most
importantly Follow our Savior and Heavenly Father!
