My mission had a great impact on my life. I learned to rely more on the Lord, to seek the guidance of the Spirit, and to feel an overwhelming love for God’s children. My knowledge of the scriptures and my understanding of the doctrines increased. So did my desire to be obedient and to keep the commandments with exactness. My testimony of the Savior and His infinite Atonement was strengthened. My missionary experiences became part of who and what I am. Missionary work became my passion. It has impacted my life and that of my family more than anything else.She then quoted Elder Holland who said:
"My mission means everything to me 47 years after the fact. There may have been one day in those 47 years that I have not thought of my mission; I’m just not sure what day that would have been."Go Ye Therefore

And it feels great!
I know that I have been greatly blessed by serving a mission. My testimony was strengthen as I served and my love for my Savior deepened. I gained self-confidence and trust in the Lord's plan for me!

Because they called me on a mission
