Greetings to all my fellow Americans,
I've also come to realize that missions have a lot more purpose than just sharing the gospel with others. If you share the gospel with millions of people, but in the end your own relationship with God isn't stronger, how much of a success is it? I have come to realize in the past two transfers that this is MY mission. Even if the "missionary work" doesnt always seem successful, it doesnt mean that each day can't be its own success. There is alot more that can be achieved on a mission than simply just sharing the gospel, and there are a lot of other lessons that can be learned. In just the 5 short months I have been a missionary, I have already learned so much from my mission. I have learned how to be a better friend; to be more patient; to be more kind; to be more considerate of others and their personal feelings. I've learned how to forget myself and focus on others; I've learned who I want to ultimately be and the things I need to do to become that person... And there are many more things I have learned from being out here in Hungary, but most importantly I have come to a better understanding of my own personal relationship with God.
I know that God knows each of us by name and he loves us more than we could ever comprehend! I am literally so thankful for that knowledge in my life, and also the knowledge that he is always there for us! Sometimes we feel that life is hard and that the gap between who we are and who we want to become is too large to ever close, and alone it is. But that is the thing, we are not alone! Christ lived and died so that we wouldnt have to be. He is always there for us, with His arms stretched out, willing and wanting to help us, if only we will let him. Christ has never failed, and He never will fail us! If we are willing to yoke ourselves to Him anything is possible. I have a strong testimony of this, and I have seen it many times in my life, both here in Hungary and at home! I am so thankful for the comfort that has come when I have been willing to turn to Him and humbled myself enough ask for help. I have a testimony of this gospel! I love it, I know that it is true, and I know that it brings blessings into our lives when we are willing to live according to it.
