I been thinking a lot lately about how I would love to have served a Mission. Sometimes I think about what if I stayed on the path.... cannot change it now, but I get sad and upset sometimes, especially lately that I did not go on one. And yes I can always go on one when I'm older but its not the same. I short of feel like I let the Lord down. I know that I was at a different place at the time. I mean, where would the Lord want me to go?
Sometimes I wish there was a rewind button and go back into time. but then I wouldn't have had the experiences I had. Those experiences helped me grow. It gave me TONS of trials that helped me become stronger temporal and spiritual.
For now, I am excited that I am a ward missionary so that I can go out with the Sisters and teach about the restored gospel.
It's not the same thing, but it's what I can do and I know the Lord is glad I'm serving him. I love talking about the Gospel and want everyone to hear it!
2 Corinthians 2:12 Futhermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord.
Moroni 7:33 And Christ hath said: If ye will have faith in me ye shall have power to do whatsoever thing is expedient in me.
Don't even be discouraged!! You're doing exactly what you should be doing. Plus, I probably would have never met you if you went on a mission! Life would be totally different. Thanks for you amazing example, Sarah! Keep working hard. You're helping others to come unto Christ. :)
