About one year ago, I was preparing to fly out to Canada in a couple of days. I was very excited be able to continue serving my mission after I had to return home from the Ivory Coast. I had served there for four months, and upon getting sick and not being able to determine what was wrong with me, I had to return home for several tests before I was reassigned to serve in the Canada Halifax Mission. However, just one short week in Canada, I got sick again and had to be sent home from the mission field for a second time. Needless to say, I was quite disparaging about my situation, and I thought that would be the end of my mission. However, Heavenly Father had something else planned for my life. My name is Elder Andrew Howden, and I am a 20-year old missionary that serves in the Provo MTC Referral Center mission.
