Hey,
I was just wanting to say Hey to all you fetchers out there that are vets of the BC mission. haha
I haven't lived in Utah since I got married in 1998. We lived for a while in the Atlanta, GA area, Boston/ Providence area, and am now back in Atlanta.
I have a boy, Tate, who turned 10 May 2011. I have a daughter, Avery, who turned 7 in January, 2011. London (boy) was 4 in July.
I miss BC. For a while in the mid 90's I used to take a trip up at least once a year (3 or 4 years running!) I love the outdoors and the scenery there! I really wish I could take my kids to Smuggler's Cove, Skookumchuck Narrows, Stawamish Chief, etc.
I did want to kind of apologize to some of my companions and other Elders I knew. I had a really hard time for a lot of my mission with just staying out. There were times (especially in my first 6 months) when I figured I would just leave. I didn't know where I was going to go though, since I felt I couldn't go home. I wasn't very fun to be around sometimes. I was angry and combative at times. I never really wanted to go on a mission: I did put it off until I was 20. I'm just a people pleaser and got swept up with making everyone (ie. my parents) so happy. Well, maybe a little part of me knew it was the right thing to do, but I still struggled.
That being said, I don't regret going. I learned a lot, and gained a better gospel knowledge and testimony. Plus my wife would not have agreed to go on a blind date with a non-RM... Because of my marriage to her, I have 3 great kids! (We are divorced now. Our divorce was final Nov. 2010, she was remarried Dec. 2010)
Anyway, I apologize for making your life harder at times. I appreciate those that were my friends, had TONS of patience for me, and helped me so much. |
