I love it! Everything you have said is s...Ahhh!!! I love it! Everything you have said is so true! I, too, wish I could spend more time in a day doing the things we were able to do as missionaries - study, learn, serve, etc. I totally miss that. I miss not being afraid to be a missionary. You know what I mean? It seems like that name tag suddenly gives you confidence you've never had and it seems to fade through time once you take it off. I wish it didn't - maybe that's something I can work on. <br /><br />Thanks Dawn for all the mission talk of late - it has made me so much more aware of the blessings my mission really did provide me. I really do feel so overwhelmed by the goodness of the Lord and His plan for us. I think He has opened a little part of that up to me in the last couple of weeks and I can see how He has guided me to be where I am now and where I need to continue to go to get where I want in life and in the eternal scheme of things.<br /><br />I feel so emotional about my mission lately. When I think of it (which has been so often since Stake Conference - it has even overtaken my dreams!), I get teary (even now!) and feel so grateful for the opportunity I had to serve. Ah, I am just so grateful....<br /><br />I think I am going to make a poster for our bulletin board that says, "I CAN DO HARD THINGS!" to remind myself when I doubt.<br /><br />Good luck to all of us. We really CAN DO HARD THINGS! (whether we served a mission or not!)<br /><br />Love ya!<br />KimKim Hawrylukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09765559363950210891noreply@blogger.com
