Mission Rant

I hope this doesnt seem like a selfish rant. I have no idea where it came from:) But i am being honest with you people... and I am honestly sharing with you my VERY personal thoughts:

preston is in the MISSION FIELD!!!!

    People say a mission is not about you but it kind of is.  Not in the sense that you should focus on things that only benefit you (you still need to selflessly serve!) but... at the end of the day you wont know if that young mother of two decided to join the church or the true thoughts and intents of the old man who lives on the corner.  

    You have yourself, sorry your stuck. And if you serve a mission and open yourself up to how the spirit can change you, how it can nudge you an inch closer towards perfection, you will be a happier person.  

So, in the end, yes, always remember to serve others and guide them towards christ, who is the source of truth and light. But it is YOUR salvation, YOUR happiness, YOUR exaltation, and YOUR happily ever after that truly matters.
