The decision to serve a mission has been the greatest decision thus far in my life. It has been such a blessing to be able to serve the Lord. I have learned so much out here in Connecticut, and my understanding of the Gospel has increased dramatically. I really didn't have a clue how important it really was until I came out and learned it for myself. The things that are learned on a mission cannot be learned in any classroom. They have to be experienced first hand. In doing so you learn so much about yourself and others. By losing yourself in the Lord's work you allow him to shape and mold you into the person he wants you to be. It then prepares you for the rest of your life.
