The sisters in my apartment
have started what they call "Face to Face with Kayla" as a way to
reflect on my mission. This week had some interesting questions. The most
interesting was this: How do you feel now that you're so close to going home?
Here's my response.
It's bittersweet. I
never had a huge desire to serve, but knew that I needed to because it was part
of Heavenly Father's plan for me. As I've served, I've come to truly love this
work. I love being a missionary. Is it hard? Of course! Is it tiring? Without a
doubt! Is it worth it? Absolutely. I've changed because of my mission and can
truly say that I have all the resources I need to be a true disciple of Jesus
Christ. I miss my family and friends a lot and I'm excited to see everyone and
relax a little bit, but I'm going to miss my mission.
You'll never regret
serving a mission, but you might regret not serving one. I know I would regret
things if I hadn't chosen to follow the promptings of the Holy Ghost and serve.
I love you all! Have a
great week!
