Well we have survived one week of being a missionary. To be honest, the first 2 days, I wondered what-in-the-heck we were doing there. Everything was strange, and people a lot older than I am were in the classes with me. The family was doing OK without me, but I still wanted to be with them. I wanted my own bed, and didn't want to read the scriptures or Preach My Gospel.
I am here to say, that I am a reconverted missionary! I have been amazed at my own transformation, as the young men who are our teachers have brought us along and trained us to share the gospel in many different ways. We have met some very wonderful people, who are going all over the world at their own expense. Some have difficult family situations that they are leaving, and they all had insights to share as we learned together. It would be a privilege to serve with them anywhere. I have come to love Preach My Gospel. What a great manual!
So bottom line is that we are ready to be missionaries and look forward to serving in Oakland. To all we say, plan ahead and go as soon as you can. It's worth it.
