so i had a little panic attack about going on a mission. like, what am i thinking?? I don't know how to talk to people in serious conversations. I'm not a very hard worker. i need to graduate. I'll miss katie's wedding. i don't have any money. I'm scared. I'll be all alone. It'll be hard. I don't speak Portuguese. I won't do any good anyway...
So I prayed to know if it was really the right thing to do, and I opened my scriptures and my bookmark is in D&C 6 and i read verse 23 which says:
Did I not speak peace to your mind concerning the matter? What greater witness can you have than from God?
WHOA! right??! how cool is that? Like a Mormon Message or something. Only this one really happened to ME! I've already received a witness that going on a mission is the right thing for me to do. Shouldn't start doubting what I know is right now. I know that the Lord is with me in this decision, and that YES it will be hard and I'll have to work hard and give up time and money, BUT I will not be alone. And I CAN do great things with the Lord.
this was one of the greatest experiences ever. It was such a tender mercy that the Lord would answer my prayer right when I really needed it and bring peace to my heart.
