while on the outside looking in at just the actions of missionaries it may seem like a miserable 2 years of bitter enduring
but actually from a Non-linear Non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of love-y smile-y... mission-y Stuff
for those of you non-Whovians I can translate:
My mission is not the greatest 2 years of my life because I am doing what I want to do when I want to do it.
My mission is great because when I don't want to get up
when I don't want to knock on that door
when I don't want to say HI
I do
and when I do I feel the love of God in my life
when I try my best to do what is right and fall flat on my face He is right there saying try again in a kind loving way.
My mission isn't about the actions of others its about the Change I feel, its about the love I try to have for Ohio and it's people.
there is so much I have felt and felt those things in ways that are hard to explain.
I have seen personalized mercy appear when I am about to give up and give in
I have loved every second of my mission especially the hard ones because I am learning
I am growing
and I have seen a change that I would never seen without the service I render here in Ohio
I love you all so Much and I hope you know that

Mosiah 2:22
And behold, all that he requires of you is to keep his commandments; and he has promised you that if ye would keep his commandments ye should prosper in the land; and he never doth vary from that which he hath said; therefore, if ye do keep his commandments he doth bless you and prosper you.
