17 Years Since the Day I Left on my Mission

17 years seems so close, but so far away!

I got to talk to the Primary last Sunday about my mission.

I teared up way more than I would've liked, but I was truly blessed 

to be able to serve the Taiwanese people. 

I told them about the many blessings and a few funny stories

and realized I forgot to tell them a few struggles I had as well.

When I look back on my mission the blessings out weigh the struggles 

and it's so much easier to see how much the Lord has blessed me 

from serving for such a short time in my life.
