| I served in Tacloban 13 years ago and I terribly missed all my missionary friends and the members in my areas. Since I am now residing in United States, it is harder for me to do what I want to do-that is to visit my areas and once again feel that great missionary spirit. I thorougly prepared myself before I served. I was not too bad and yet I became better while serving him. It is rewarding to serve a mission prepared. Great success comes from diligence. When I returned home, I continued my missionary spirit, tried so many times to get married and finally found the right one, at least I did not falter, I was on the track, set a goal, pursued it, and got I want. I am happy. I have 3 kids and a beautiful wife-she is a returned missionary too. My dedication brought to my call as a Stake President where i had an awesome opportunity to develop and send worthy men and women to the mission field. I never cried that much in my life than interviewing Returned Missionaries, the spirit is always that strong and close. Unforgettable feelings of love, fulfillment and commitment. I thought I always did what is right and if all Returned Missionaries are like that, their life too can be fulfilling. Well, I never thought I will be able to really see the Salt Lake Temple which I always dreamed on since I was baptized, but here I am visiting every temple on my way - which I had been to 18 already accross United States plus the Philippines Temple. I guess, you may call it luck but I call it rewards for being obedient. I just didn't stop dreaming and asking God if that is possible and boy he gave it. I love the Church, it enlarges your spirit. Along with thousands of others, I say, my mission was the best two years of my life. |
