I've honestly been feeling good about coming home until I woke up this morning. Luckily my companion is here with me because she will be following my footsteps and training at 3 months!! Esoooo!!!!
Then we said our companion prayer... and I said it..... and I thought about who we should pray for specifically.... and no one came to mind. Like... I don't have investigators... or members... or .... anyone. And then it hit me.... my mission was over. And I just felt without a purpose. So I finished the prayer and just started bawling. Haha! My poor companion.
But I had just realized that every day in the mission you wake up with a purpose. It's all about others. And my purpose was to invite them to come to Christ. And now what? THE REAL WORLD DOESN'T HAVE PURPOSE...... Kidding! I know it does. But that's what I was feeling.
I do not regret anything I've done on my mission. Even the
mistakes I've made... I've learned from them. NO regrets.. I've enjoyed
every freaking second of it. I've learned to know God's plan for me. I've
learned to really just love people. Discipline. To be humble. To rely
completely on God. I've become a different and better person. I've become
converted. And I've seen the gospel in action. I've been a disciple of
Jesus Christ.
I know it's time to move on... even if it's hard and I don't want to. The only thing I'm counting on...and it's what is keeping me from going crazy...is that my mission doesn't end here. I can keep helping people, and preaching the gospel, for Him.
