If a young person asked me whether they should serve an LDS mission, my answer would be yes—and don’t delay.
My mission changed my life. It taught me discipline, faith, resilience, and gave me experiences that continue to shape who I am today. More importantly, it anchored me spiritually. During some of the most difficult seasons of my life, I found myself returning to lessons I learned and testimonies I gained as a missionary.
A mission isn’t always easy, but some of the most meaningful things in life rarely are. Looking back, it’s one of the best decisions I ever made, and I would encourage any young person considering it to go and give it everything they have.
