Wow, it has been a while since I have posted anything. Let me just say, life off of my mission has been great. I knew when I was leaving my mission to come home that there were great things in store for me. And I'm already seeing them. I am thankful for that. I just love the fact that when our mission comes to an end, it doesn't mean our life is over. I saw that a lot while I was on my mission, missionaries acted as if they wouldn't have anything to live for once they were finished. Which is NOT true at all. Once we have served a mission, we can see and understand that there really is SO much to live for! More than we even realized before serving. When our mission ends, life really begins. And it's exciting! Although the sun is setting on that part of our life, the sun is rising to a new beginning. To new things, new adventures, just new everything.
I miss the people I met and served with during my mission. But I know it had to come to an end. And the timing of it all was completely perfect! I loved my mission and always will. It shaped me into who I am today. I know it has prepared me for the rest of my life. I have already seen that since being home. I am so grateful for that.
So I guess what I am saying is that missionaries that come home should not feel depressed and upset about it being over because there are so many great things to come! Heavenly Father gives us the amazing opportunity to serve. And that sets us up for the rest of our lives! It's so awesome!
