-whats the hardest part about deciding to go on a mission?
-is it worth all the stuff I'll miss out on for 18 months?
-but what if I dont know the scriptures well enough?
-with the new announcement by the prophet, does it mean I have to go if I'm not married? (NO!)
-am I selfish for wanting to go to be a better person?
What are you concerns about going or deciding to go? And there are really no right answers to most of these questions, but I know I had a lot of doubts as I was deciding to go on a mission.
I'm leaving on a mission in less than a month (Long Beach Cali-wahoo!) but one of my concerns that has never fully been answered is going without having a complete assurance that it is what I am supposed to do. So many people have said "don't go unless you know for sure that it's what you're supposed to do" and I don't. I mean, there's no reason for me not to go, and I want to serve the Lord, but I don't have a for sure answer that this is better than staying home and graduating or still dating or getting a real job etc. Thoughts on that?
