part of my identity has been developed because i served a mission in southern france. living there was heaven. serving the lord was harder than i had ever imagined. i always knew i would serve a mission because i expected the man i was to marry to have served a mission. i believed i should be what i expected my husband to be. so i never really thought twice about it. i was going to serve the lord full time for 18 months.
another huge motivator for me was that i felt it would be the best thing i could do for my future children. my home was filled with faith... but i wanted to be an even better at teaching my children about Jesus. i feel like my mission was a "success" because i became more fully converted to the gospel of jesus christ. i know god has a plan for everyone's happiness. i feel this more deeply as i grow older.
