An Open Letter to Anyone Thinking About Serving a Mission

Come here for a second, now listen up!

Whatever you think a mission is all about, however good or bad or difficult you think it’ll get, whatever grand expectations you have for it: it is 10 times better, harder, more exciting and life changing than you think. And if we’re perfectly honest it’s probably closer to a hundred times anything you can imagine.

My mission was simply the best thing in the world! Missionary work is the greatest work with the greatest blessings, and the greatest opportunities and the greatest experiences life could offer anyone. (Period).

ARE YOU EXCITED YET? Well you should be. I am, and I still have 20 years left until my next one. Ponder this!
