Elder Andersen is going home. He has had a unique mission serving closely with us in the office for about 15 months in different capacities and at different times. He is talented beyond his years and has served effectively and obediently his whole mission. His life has been changed physically as well as spiritually. He went from a young boy to a mighty man of God. Thank you Elder Andersen. We will love you forever! Hermana Turk
Now... Elder Andersen's post
When a new missionary arrives here he feels…
Scared
Lost
Alone
Useless
Nervous
Confused
Excited
Homesick
That was two years ago. I remember how hard it was.
Being a missionary is not easy. It is hard work, and it should be.
Mom´s: Please don´t cry for us, we are having the best experiences of our lives… better yet, share your testimonies with us. That is what we need. Our emails might not always show it, but we love what we are doing and what we are learning.
My family is on a plane right now coming to get me
and take me home,
I feel…
Scared
Lost
Nervous
Excited
...FULL CIRCLE
I have so many mixed feelings…
It is like trying to choose between Perú and Utah.
I love them both.
It has been so amazing to serve.
The mission has changed my life forever.
I shall always speak of it with sacred tones.
The world is a big place,
but I know that what I have done here has made a difference.
If you are trying to decide whether or not to serve a mission…
DO IT!
If not you will lose the opportunity to
bless the lives of hundreds of people,
and you will lose the millions of blessings
that you can earn through
completing this sacred priesthood obligation.
Worthily serving a mission,
is the best decision I have ever made.
is the best decision I have ever made.
